CBO: Ending Cost Sharing Subsidies Will Increase Deficit

[busybee01]

The CBO estimates that ending CSRs will increase the deficit by $194 billion over 10 years. How is this possible? Premiums will be raised to make up for the loss of the CSRs. Subsidies will increase to make up for the higher premiums. People receiving subsidies will see no increase in their premiums.

The big losers will be people who are ineligible for subsidies. They will see their premiums skyrocket and it will come out of their own pocket.

It is not the Obamacare killer. It will turn more people against Trump and Republicans.

Goody. More people will be uninsured, and hopefully, and yes Trump and the Pubs can kiss it goodbye.

The people who will be uninsured will be middle class people. There will be plenty of horror stories for the Democrats to latch onto in 2018 and 2020. It is becoming more likely that Democrats will take the House in 2018.
