“Warning that the latest Obamacare “fix” could compel the federal government to bail out insurance companies, Republican senators have introduced a bill to prevent taxpayer funds from being used to prop up the industry.

It would strip a provision in the Affordable Care Act pertaining to so-called “risk corridors,” which could allow the government to pay insurance companies to offset financial losses.”
