Wednesday is looking like yet another pivotal day in the life-or-death saga that has marked the history of the Affordable Care Act.

Health insurers have perfected a way to wring billions more in revenue from the Medicare program by combing patient medical charts for additional diagnosis codes to submit to the federal government for payment. 

A Republican Senate bill that seeks to bolster protections for patients with pre-existing conditions falls short of current law, said Nevada’s health insurance exchange leader.

Ten GOP senators this week introduced legislation that they say would protect ObamaCare provisions for people with pre-existing conditions.

Health insurers and a coalition of business associations are ramping up efforts to repeal the health insurance tax, a provision of the Affordable Care Act that will cost insurers $14.3 billion in 2018.

The uninsured rate in the first three months of 2018 held steady compared to the same time frame last year, according to new numbers released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
