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.
