How do they pay for Repealing Obamacare???

[cthulu2016]

I don't mean pay politically. How do they pay for it in $$$?

Since Obamacare reduces the deficit, repealing it increases the deficit and under pay-go rules any attempt to repeal Obamacare must include other cuts or new taxes to pay for repealing it.

Have the Republicans paid for the repeal in their 33 votes to repeal it, or have they been treating it under some special rule?

1. Simple: more tax cuts

4. By giving the rich tax cuts and taxing the middle class back to the middle ages.

Easy-peasy.

5. "They" won't pay for it

WE will.

My brother is a cancer survivor. Works for a tiny employer who cannot offer insurance. Loves his job, been there 20+ years. Family is covered by his wife's insurance thru her job.
She has recently developed serious health problems herself and is probably headed toward going out on disability; she would certainly qualify for SSDI. She *forces* herself to work, for the insurance.
Soon she will not be able to work anymore. Then what??? They are their 50s. They will COBRA (at $1600/month!!) for 18 months. If the Repugs repeal the ACA they will not be able to get insurance no matter how much they would pay. They would lose *everything they ever worked their whole lives for* and then die.
If the ACA stands they would be able to buy insurance with a subsidy.
I've told their story to winger "friends" and they have no answer. Let 'em die.
I despise Republicans with a white-hot passion. (rant over!)

8. Democrats kindly allowed you that out. There is no collection enforcement.

And if something happens to you, and you need medical care, my premiums will rise to cover your costs. And I"m .... reluctantly.... okay with that.

The Republicans would prefer to just "Let him die", as they demonstrated during the primary debates.

9. if they take charge, you'll never hear the word 'deficit' again.

the only mention of deficits from the bu$h* years was cheney dismissing the idea saying 'deficits don't matter'

junior spent like a drunken sailor

10. The Ryan budget pockets much of the savings.

I imagine the law could be dismantled without increasing deficit by leaving the cuts and repealing the insurance regulations and new spending.

But in the votes they have taken so far, at least for a full repeal, they exempted the bill from PAYGO rules.
