will effect everyone with insurance - not just the 20+ million with insurance through the ACA. The GOP will have really pooped in their own lunch box if they go ahead with that. All bets will be off for everyone who has had a carbuncle to cancer. These fools don't realize that insurance companies will raise premiums and deductibles on the entire population except those using Medicare and Medicaid. That includes their friends and families and that's just for starters. This will be an unmitigated disaster. What a bunch of friggin' idiots.

They don't want everyone to have affordable coverage. That's what the GOP won't tell you. That's the 800 pound gorilla in the room. That's why they keep making shit up like death panels and pre existing conditions. There are no pre existing conditions! The whole thing is designed to keep us fighting with each other while they take all your money. By the time news breaks about the latest drug to be snatched up and price gouged, they've already taken you to the cleaners and are laughing at the bank. It's just one big pyramid scheme. Under their plan, health care will be so expensive that only the chosen few will be able to afford it. Why do you think that pharmaceutical criminals like Shkreli are buying up drugs and 7,000% markups on them?

great for upper middle class and uup. Meaningless for anybody making less than the median income. Someone making $35k is not going to be able to save any meaningful amount that would pay for more than a trip to the dentist.

Tax credits are fun for libertarians to pontificate about, but they are pretty much like vouchers and unless we're talking about $10-15k per annum to buy insurance, they won't be worth the paper the vouchers are printed on.
