Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) is proposing an audit of whether insurance companies are using federal tax dollars to cover abortions, a legislative compromise meant to jump-start negotiations over enhanced Obamacare subsidies. The proposal, which would vet the companies’ compliance with the Hyde Amendment, was tucked into bill text that Moreno shared with the rest of an Obamacare working group on Wednesday and would include a “penalty system” for insurers who run afoul of the law. Rank-and-file Republicans, meanwhile, appear skeptical of the audit language, with Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) noting that the Government Accountability Office has already scrutinized compliance with the Hyde Amendment. Moreno also suggested the bill now includes language preventing noncitizens from receiving the subsidies, a provision that could help win over GOP support. “Time’s not on our side,” Moreno said, acknowledging that the window for a deal is closing.
