REUTERS/Larry Downing Senate Republicans may just save Obamacare — right before they tear it up. According to a report from Jennifer Steinhauer and Robert Pear at the New York Times, Republicans are considering a measure that would help stabilize the Affordable Care Act's individual insurance markets for the short-term during their drafting of a bill to repeal and replace the law. As part of crafting their healthcare bill, the Times reported, Senate Republicans are considering funding the cost sharing reduction (CSR) payments that are vital to ensuring the stabilization of the individual insurance market. The issue at hand is the legality of funding of the CSR payments.
