TIME TO FISH OR CUT BAIT

Posted in Uncategorized by Baba - Jun 26, 2017

Here’s an outline of key changes to Obamacare in the House health care bill:

 

  • No more using tax credits to cover abortion, and imposes a one year exclusion of Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds.
  • Gives each state the right to impose work requirements for Medicaid.
  • Gives each state the right to waive coverage for maternity care and emergency room trips.
  • Gives each state the right to charge more for more expensive treatments.
  • Penalizes people who cancel coverage for 63 days or more.
  • Changes tax credits from income-based to age-based (which don’t vary with local insurance costs).
  • Adds $8 billion for consumers with pre-existing conditions.

Naturally all 46 Democrat Senators, and both Independent Senators will oppose any changes to their former Supreme Leader’s namesake program.

Five of the 52 Republican Senators (Cruz-TX; Heller-NV; Johnson-WI; Lee-UT; Paul-KY) have opposed the bill because it does not repeal and replace Obamacare. The Senate is “proposing” their own version.

A Senate vote is set for Thursday June 29.
