Hard to overstate how useful this resource is.
A few more fiddly Marketplace policies didn't make it into the Senate bill (e.g., SEP verification requirements) — probably because of Byrd concerns — but most consequential policies (including ending automatic re-enrollment with subsidies) remain

The Medicaid reductions in the House reconciliation bill could have big implications for the 1.2 million people living in nearly 15,000 federally certified nursing facilities.

Important new analysis from @kff.org on impact of capping the ACA Medicaid expansion. This is under serious consideration by House GOP and threatens Medicaid for 20 million people.
Over 10 years 90% match would drop to 69% shifting $246 billion to states.
