The Murkowski kickback has been found.

The Zombie TrumpCare 3.0 bill has section-by-section summaries describing what it does. However, none of the summaries mention this, which can only be found by reading the full bill text.

In 2026, every state would get almost exactly $4,400 per eligible person, except Alaska, which would get $6,500.

So the question is, does Murkowski think she can convince Alaskans that screwing them less than the rest of the country is a good thing? I guess that depends on if she had any input in this matter, or if this was added by leadership as a sweetener to try to win her vote. We’d only know the answer to that if she votes no.

TrumpCare iterations, by the numbers:

TrumpCare: 23 million lose coverage
Zombie TrumpCare: I forget, but not much different than original TrumpCare
Zombie TrumpCare 2.0: 16 million lose coverage
Zombie TrumpCare 3.0: 32 million lose coverage
