Democrats secured control of both the House and Senate, ending Republican efforts to cut Medicaid payments. Party leaders aim to reverse Trump-era tax law provisions and restore enhanced subsidies for ACA plans within the first 100 hours of the new Congress, which begins in January. Democrats also intend to block a specific drug discount model proposed by the Trump administration. This shift is expected to provide relief to hospital industries facing financial pressure from previous legislative actions.
