News and information from the press office of Senate Finance Committee Chairman @MikeCrapo of Idaho

Washington, D.C.
“Fraud grew rampant in recent years because the Biden administration increased Obamacare enrollment by expanding eligibility for zero-premium plans while failing to perform sufficient due diligence… Money given to scammers is money that doesn’t help needy people.”

The Working Families @TaxCuts in action: "Republicans said it was a big deal when they passed a new federal tax credit for school choice. How big? Assuming 10% participation by eligible donors, scholarship funds could hit $18.8 billion, a new report says, or roughly 24% of federal K-12 spending. It’s ‘more than the federal tax benefits each year for charitable giving to every school, college, and university combined.'" More from @WSJOpinion ⬇️ wsj.com/opinion/federal-scho…

Fraudsters exploited Obamacare at the expense of vulnerable Americans and taxpayers. EXAMPLE: Cory Lloyd targeted homeless people and those with mental health and substance abuse disorders in a $233 MILLION Obamacare fraud scheme. He has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Yesterday, @VP Vance's Fraud Task Force and @DrOzCMS took action to prevent fraudsters like this from robbing taxpayers and threatening the healthcare of Americans who need it most.

Brad Gerstner, a native of Syracuse, Indiana, is contributing $250 into the Trump Accounts program for up to 140,000 young Hoosiers.   In today's @IndyStar, Brad (@altcap) and I write about why Congress created these accounts, his desire to give back to Hoosiers, and how research shows that having assets early in life can put kids on a great path into adulthood.

Every year, too many Americans discover our tax system is more complex and less responsive than it should be. My bipartisan Taxpayer Assistance and Service Act would modernize IRS operations and strengthen taxpayer rights, making the system more transparent, efficient and fair.

Senate Republicans drastically expanded the employer-provided child care credit. More businesses can now offer child care benefits, increasing accessibility and driving down costs for parents. Every Democrat voted no.

@USGAO confirmed that taxpayers are subsidizing Obamacare plans that cover elective abortions. Republicans have raised this concern for years. This is NOT where Louisiana families want their hard-earned tax dollars to go. Obamacare should not get a carveout from the Hyde Amendment.
