HOORAY! The debt ceiling ("TEMPORARY EXTENSION OF PUBLIC DEBT LIMIT") was apparently not moved from 2025-01 to 2027-01 in that "Section 401 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023" was not amended, according to the omission of the last paragraph of yesterday's version. Add: The Hill claims spending limit raised $1.5t in exchange for (unenforceable?) comps in next Congress.
The following from page 105 of the old bill was also dropped:
"Activities authorized by part B of title IV of the Social Security Act shall continue through March 31, 2025, in the manner authorized for fiscal year 2024, and out of any money in the Treasury of the United States not otherwise appropriated, there are hereby appropriated such sums as may be necessary for such purpose."
In a new section 3401, "ELIMINATING CERTAIN DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE HOSPITAL PAYMENT CUTS", an SS date is changed from 01-01 to 04-01.

Other changes are possible that didn't majorly influence pagination.
Using the Microsoft's compare function, the bills are virtually identical, with the big difference is the removal of a debt ceiling extension, which I have questions on if the extension is a good idea in the first place.
