Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, said, “I look forward to getting this done.” An additional $100 billion to bolster the immigration and border processing system could boost the overall package to $1.85 trillion if it clears Senate rules. There’s also a one-year extension of a child care tax credit that was put in place during the COVID-19 rescue and new child care subsidies. Still in the mix, a long list of other priorities: free prekindergarten for all youngsters, expanded health care programs - including the launch of a new $35 billion hearing aid benefit for people with Medicare - and $555 billion to tackle climate change. Paid family leave and efforts to lower prescription drug pricing are now gone entirely from the package, drawing outrage from some lawmakers and advocates.
