source?

As of 2020, insurers would not be required to offer the “essential health benefits package” implemented under Obamacare. That means healthy people could buy cheaper, skimpier plans, but the cost of comprehensive plans would likely go up. The requirement that larger employers offer insurance to full-time employees would be axed.

Modernize and strengthen Medicaid by transitioning to a “per capita allotment” so states can better serve the patients most in need.

Are you repealing Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion?

Medicaid is a critical program, but it has its flaws—including fewer choices and less access to quality care. Obamacare’s expansion made those flaws worse.

Our proposal strengthens Medicaid and targets the program’s limited resources to the patients most in need.

We will provide a stable transition and help ensure low-income Americans have access quality, affordable options through a new, competitive, state-based private insurance marketplace.

Wait, a household making $100K would get a tax credit for healthcare under this plan? Jesus christ.

I assume that's ONLY for people who don't receive healthcare from their employer? Should I even assume that with these clowns?

Phew. Also love that he's been tweeting FnF a lot.

Not all of the affected are citizens of the six countries — Syria, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, and Somalia — that the Trump administration has deemed especially dangerous. About 7,000 are from Myanmar; about 9,000, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and nearly 10,000, from Iraq, which Trump removed from his original travel ban list because of “the close cooperative relationship between the United States and the democratically elected Iraqi government” and “Iraq’s commitment to combat ISIS,” according to the new executive order. About 31,000 affected refugees come from the six nations that are under the travel ban.

On the surface, the tax credits for the oldest Americans seem the most generous. People in their 60s, for example, get twice as much help as those in their 20s.

But under the Republican plan, insurers would be allowed to charge the oldest Americans five times as much as the youngest Americans. Their financial help would not scale nearly as much as their premiums would.
