CBO: Republican health care bill raises premiums for older, poor Americans by as much as 850%

The American Health Care Act would make a low-income 64-year-old in the individual market pay more than half his income for health insurance.

Republicans’ American Health Care Act would be devastating to older Americans who rely on the individual insurance market, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.

The CBO found that the revised Republican bill does bring down overall premiums in the individual market by anywhere from 4 to 20 percent by 2026 compared with what they would be under current law.

The variation depends on whether a state accepts waivers under the American Health Care Act, which would allow insurers to offer much skimpier health plans at lower premiums. States that take up such waivers would see lower premiums, although the health plans would provide fewer benefits. States that don’t adopt such waivers would have higher premiums, but their health plans would offer more benefits — a trade-off.

It's going to take some time to undo the disaster created by the Democrats. Trump and the Republicans should drop the idea of replacing Obamacare. It should be to repeal only. Before Obamacare we had the best medical system in the world. Repeal Obamacare and go back to that.

 

[miketx]

Never any proof, just some made up story.

 

[Penelope]

Let them do it. Their true colors will come out for all to see, even for those blinded now. Democrats should not clean up their mess, they ruined the ACA and now want to ruin decent healthcare for all except the elites.

Since many Trump supporters are on the ACA and Medicaid, yes they are, they shall reap what they sow.

What a fucked up liar you are.

 

[Mac1958]

Obviously the Republicans were lying for eight years. They'd smirk and tell us they had a better plan, when they knew goddamn well that they didn't.

The only way our "leaders" will produce a decent (maybe) plan is if they work together.

The only aspect of health care that the US leads the world in is cost. Your outcomes, overall health of your citizens, and accessibility to health are the worst of first world countries.

For profit health is killing all but your wealthiest citizens.

Wouldn't worry about it too much. Soon as Senate rolls out their plan the freedumb caucus of whack jobs will throw a hissy fit and won't vote for new bill and nothing will get done. Obamcare will collapse on its own and then BOTH the GOP and dems will be on hook to fix it with something that will actually help Americans.

 

[aris2chat]

Most of the burden for the older and higher risk individuals is state responsibility so the CBO report for the federal contribution is not accurate for paying individuals as to total costs.

This whole affordable medical program is for 10-15% of individuals in the country not already covered. With mire jobs on the raise, that figure will be even less.

If we don't do anything more states will be without any insurance participation in affordable healthcare programs

Don't fix. REPEAL!

Clearly, Republcians want them dead. How many times does it take before they figure that out?

They don't believe it. They think only black people or Hispanics will be left to die. Rich Republicans only care about the rich, what ever their color. Poor Republicans hate blacks.

Why not give us your prediction based on what you know about Trump's healthcare plan?
