House leaders hope to bring the health package up for a vote on the House floor Wednesday, according to press reports.

It's not clear how much attention a package without an ACA premium subsidy section can get in the Senate.

Plans have gotten used to providing parity for copayments and deductibles, but now they're having to provide parity for "nonquantitative treatment limits".

At least two House Republicans, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Rep. Jen Kiggans of Virginia, are still hoping to get Affordable Care Act subsidy bills to the House floor before the end of the year.

The latest survey also identified that 45% of employers have indicated that the current economic conditions have impacted their organization's culture.

Senators voted 51-48 for cloture for both bills.
