— What’s in it: House Democrats added back in four weeks of paid family and medical leave at a cost of $200 billion. The policy was previously nixed from the social spending bill amid opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). The plan also includes $400 billion to subsidize child care for most U.S. families and set up universal pre-K throughout t...
— What’s in it: $35 billion to cover hearing care for older Americans who receive Medicare, starting in 2023. — Potential pitfalls:Senate Budget Chair Bernie Sanders is passionate about expanding Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing benefits for seniors, signaling that he will accept nothing less. “Keeping teeth in your mouth as you grow ol...

Taxpayers would be able to write off up to $80,000 of what they pay in state and local taxes, a much heftier perk than the $10,000 limit Republicans set under their 2017 tax overhaul.

But Manchin objected, arguing that it wouldn’t be fair for the federal government to foot the full bill f...
— What’s in it: Five-year work permits that could go to millions of undocumented immigrants, plus temporary protections from deportation and access to certain benefits like the ability to travel.

— What’s in it: A surtax on individual income above $10 million a year, a 15 percent minimum tax on corporations that report at least $1 billion in profits and a tax on stock buybacks.Those key tax increases were included in the framework the White House unveiled last week. And House Democrats have added more, including a tax on nicotine and new li...
— What’s in it: Health care subsidies that are set to expire in 2022 would run through 2025 under the package, continuing tax credits to help people cover the cost of their health insurance premiums. — Potential pitfalls: While the White House calls the plan “the biggest expansion of affordable health care coverage in a decade,” the proposal has on...
— What’s in it: $150 billion for housing programs, including for the construction and rehabilitation of up to 1 million new affordable rental and single-family homes.
