The whole basis for the gop plan is to get stingier over time. The quicker the better.
By the way, Ryan and trumpity won’t believe simple facts even when colors are used.
This is a feature not a bug.
Death panels by other means. Ingenious!
Yeah but the cost of insurance will be so low due to being able to buy across state lines you won’t need a much of a break…ha ha ha ha
Sure, the tax credits get stingier, but the tax cuts will grow like kudzu.
AHCACT!
Its like a Republican furball the cat just vomited, in so many respects.
It’s like they’ve automated death panels, reducing labor costs.
It’s the same with Medicaid and it’s going to be the same with Medicare, if they get a shot at that. This is going to be horrific in ten to twenty years.
And yet, for a significant portion of the GOPers in Congress, this is too generous.
It’s a tax reduction bill for the rich not a healthcare plan for the middle class and working poor. Call it TumpConManCare.
Sounds like Bill the cat from Bloom County.
In fairness, the tax credit will grow more slowly because insurance companies will suddenly forgo profit. -s-
It might be useful to put up a chart of taxation on the wealthier Americans, both nominal rate and tax paid, since 1980, for comparison.
Since the tax credits aren’t enough for most people to buy insurance with anyway, it won’t matter much.
(Although if the GOP do get their regulatory mojo on in “phase three” there will no doubt be many policies sold across state lines covering nothing and costing almost exactly the amount of the tax credits…)
It isn’t just the difference in money, but also how it is paid. If I understand correctly, Obamacare pays as you go. Trumpcare only pays by giving you a tax break when you file in the next year.
