FYI
„A Deeper Look at the Senate Health Bill
Stephanie Armour
Here's a deeper look at what the Senate plan would do:
Medicaid: The plan would roll back the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion more gradually than the House version would, but would ultimately make deeper cuts to the program. While states' funding from Washington would be capped for the first time in the history of the Medicaid program, states would be given a choice of the formula used -- 'block grants' or 'per capita caps' -- to curb it under the bill.
Penalties: The bill would end the ACA’s much-debated requirement that most Americans pay a penalty if they don’t have insurance. The bill also suspends the so-called Cadillac tax on generous employer health benefits through 2025.
Subsidies: The bill would keep Obamacare's current tax credits to provide subsidies to people who don’t get health insurance on the job, but the bill would lower income eligibility for the assistance, meaning fewer people would be able to get the subsidies. The credits would also be less robust than under the ACA.
Planned Parenthood: The bill would strip federal funding from Planned Parenthood Federation of America for one year. It also prohibits tax credits from being used to purchase plans that offer abortion coverage.
ACA Taxes: Like the House bill, the Senate bill would repeal a 3.8% tax on investment income retroactively to January 2017 and delay the repeal of a 0.9% payroll tax until 2023.
Both of those taxes only apply to individuals making more than $200,000 and married couples making more than $250,000.”
