Senate Republicans’ proposal to replace Obamacare would provide an additional $50 billion over four years to stabilize insurance exchanges, relying on a mechanism Republicans have criticized in the past as a way to keep insurers in the marketplace.

The measure would eliminate Obamacare’s tax increases, including a 3.8 percent net investment income tax, a 2.3 percent levy on medical device sales, a 0.9 percent Medicare surtax and a 10 percent indoor tanning tax. But a tax on expensive “Cadillac” employer-provided plans would be delayed, as in the House measure.

Senate Republicans are beginning to learn the details of the health-care bill they may be asked to vote on next week, with senators saying the measure envisions a more gradual transition away from Obamacare than the House-passed version.
