Beyond those budget numbers, negotiators included other provisions, some popular, others that may never have survived a full and open debate. The deal would repeal a powerful provision in the Affordable Care Act that empowered an independent medical advisory board to control the spiraling costs of Medicare. It would extend for one year 48 different tax credits that expired at the end of 2016, including credits related to mine safety, energy efficiency, rum imports, horse racing and economic development…

The bill expands pilot programs meant to test the value of in-home care for some Medicare patients. And it expands the ability of private Medicare Advantage plans to offer so-called “telehealth,” where doctors treat patients over the phone or internet. It would allow Medicare providers who are part of an accountable care association to offer patients cash bonuses as incentives for healthy behaviors. The bill increases discounts that pharmaceutical companies must give seniors enrolled in the Medicare Part D…
Advertisement WASHINGTON — The budget deal speeding through Congress is billed as a measure to grant stability to a government funding process that has lurched from crisis to crisis — but it is also stuffed with provisions that will broadly affect the nation’s health care system, like repealing an advisory board to curb Medicare spending and funding community health centers. Many of the provisions have been in gestation for months, even years in some cases. Some will save money….
“Certainly I’ve never heard of or seen it being this bad,” Mr. Rogers said. In recent days, the Republican-controlled committee has treated the public to a confusing round-the-clock spectacle over dueling staff-drafted memos that pitted Republicans’ damning characterizations of classified documents against Democrats’ benign ones.

Mr. Shah called the accusations against him “upsetting,” and said that Mr. Kelly had not been made “fully aware” of them until this week. But two people close to the White House said that Mr. Kelly and Joe Hagin, the deputy chief of staff for operations, as well as Donald F. McGahn II, the White House counsel, had known of the issues since late fall. It was unclear whether they knew the extent of the women’s allegations, though one…
Sept. 14 Conservatives recoiled at the idea of Mr. Trump embracing what they call amnesty for lawbreakers in granting the Dreamers legal status. The White House said that no deal had been reached. Mr. Trump tweeted: “No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent.” He said that would include “the wall.” Oct. 1 The new fiscal year began without Congress passing any of the 12 appropriations…
But his decision to create a web series with a first episode that jabs pointedly at the president is striking because of Mr. Roth’s history with Mr. Trump. Mr. Roth’s father, Steven, a prominent real estate magnate in New York City, has been politically and financially allied with Mr. Trump. The future president attended Jordan Roth’s wedding in 2012 to Richie Jackson. In a 2015 interview, Mr. Trump cited the event when asked if he had ever attended a…
As commissioner, Mr. Rettig would oversee the audit of Mr. Trump’s personal tax returns. The president has in the past said he would only release the returns once they were no longer under audit. Writing for Forbes in 2016, Mr. Rettig said he would not advise Mr. Trump, then a candidate, to release his tax returns while an audit was continuing. “Is there any legal impediment to Trump publicly releasing his tax returns? Absolutely not,” Mr. Rettig wrote. “Would…
