The Republican bill would allow these Obamacare subsidies to expire at the end of January and instead approve funding for health savings accounts, which would expressly not cover patient spending on abortion or "gender transition procedures."

Senate Republicans plan a bill to let Affordable Care Act tax credits expire at the end of January and instead fund health savings accounts that exclude abortion and gender-transition spending.
