Republicans warm to insurer payments, but disagree over how

Republicans are coming around to the idea of paying insurers to reduce medical expenses for low-income customers for the long term, but they are disagreeing over whether the payments should come from White House or Congress.

Congress has shown no signs recently of making an emergency appropriation of cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers, which have been pushing Congress and the Trump administration to decide if the payments will be made next year, as they are sending in their plan proposals.
