Providing for Congressional Disapproval Under Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code, of the Rule Submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human...
The Senate debated a resolution to disapprove a CMS rule creating a program that uses technology and paid reviewers to scrutinize Medicare claims before payment. Democrats, including Senators Wyden and Murray, said the program lets AI-driven companies delay or deny care that doctors recommend, rewards middlemen for denying claims, and breaks promises not to cut Medicare. Republicans, led by Senator Crapo, argued the program targets waste and fraud, citing jumps in spending on skin substitutes, and said blocking it would hurt efforts to protect taxpayers. The motion to disapprove the rule was rejected, 46 to 50, with several senators absent.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
