GOP's healthcare plan - more money to the wealthy

[RealDave]

One of the itesms in the Trump?ryan ACVA replacement has to do with subsidies.

Under the ACA, subsidy availability & amount were based on income.

Republicans said " OMG OMG OMG we can't do that!!!!!"

Those subsides would go.

Instead, subsidies will be based on age.

That's right age.

Poorer people will get less. Ivanka Trump will get a subsidy.

And you assholes will cheer & love the idea that your money will help poor Ivanka buy health insurance. Because, she certainly needs our help.

This is just how stupid & pathetic the Republic party has become.

The ACA was only based on age and income and sometimes smoking. Why would Ivanka get a subsidy, it it because either her or Jared are considered Fed employees?

Yes the Republicans want the Cadillac plan and they wrote a special law that they can be subsidized, they were upset when they made too much for subsidies. If they opt for the Cadillac plan they have to pay a 40% tax above the premium.

No, Ivanka will not get a subsidy. That just shows how stupid and pathetic you are to believe something so idiotic.

If subsidies are based solely on age, Ivanka would get a subsidy as her income would not be relevant.

The point is why would Republicans do this?

Why lower the subsidies for those that need them & hand them out to those who don't need them?

We subsidized all Fed employees and Congress's healthcare, we are nice taxpayers.

It goes by income first and then one does need to put their age, many may not realize it but the cost of insurance goes up with age, and if you smoke. But your subsidy goes by your income. Ivanka if her husband is not a Fed employee is not getting a subsidy, and also that is why Congress cheated and made a law special for them as they made too much to get a subsidy under the ACA so they are now in a Washington DC special exchange.

This is a link to show one how age affects the silver plan, a lot cheaper for the young, but subsidies go by income.
How Age Affects Health Insurance Costs

except for some states:
New York does not permit any use of age as a factor when determining health insurance rates. In fact health insurance premiums in the Empire State cannot discriminate whatsoever and have the same price regardless of any policyholder characteristics. This typically leads to higher premiums for those who are ages 21-50, and lower premiums for those who are older when compared to other states.

Vermont also does not permit the use of age as a factor when calculating health insurance premiums. Insurers must charge the same premiums regardless of health status, age or gender in the state. Like New York, younger citizens of Vermont typically see higher relatively premiums, while those older consumers will see lower premiums in comparison to other states.

Utah has the same 3:1 range when it comes to health insurance premiums but the scaling in the different age groups tends to be more aggressive. For instance consumers 30-36 pay almost 40% more than the base rate in the state where as the same group would pay anywhere from 13 - 27% more under the federal guidelines. Children under the age of 21 are also more expensive with costs fixed at 79% of the base rate.

Minnesota has an age curve similar to the federal guidelines, with consumers over 21 experiencing the same scaling they would in other states. Where the state differs is the costs for those under 21, with premium multiples coming in at 89% of the base rate instead of the standard 63.5%.

Masschusetts allows insurers to adjust premiums based on age to a maximum of 2x the premiums charged to a 21 year old. This makes for a narrower variation of premiums based upon the age of policyholder.

No, we don't. They get health insurance from their employer just like me and 85% of the rest of the country.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

If subsidies are based solely on age

Which they won't be, so you can take your tin foil hat off, Chicken Little.
