Now that seven Senate Democrats and an independent Senator decided there was too much suffering of the people, the subsidies in the way of a tax credit once a year is going to end. Americans will no longer be able to afford their insurance and will be forced to make decisions no one should have to make.
Worse than the subsidies the law allows for no health insurance as a choice however there is a tax penalty to be paid when that choice is made. This part of the bill will not end just because the tax deductions (subsidies) end. It is this aspect of the law that the Republicans are expecting to work against the people making difficult decisions. The Republicans can even make life worse by increasing this penalty.
Welcome to Trump’s economic hell for Americans. The Republicans are stonewalling the discussions they promised now.
