23 million fewer Americans insured under House GOP bill
The
House Republican Health care bill would leave 23 million fewer Americans with
health insurance by 2026 than under Obamacare. This bill would reduce deficits
by $119 billion. The bill aims to help the middle class and young people by
reducing premiums. Although it help young and middle class it will hurt older
people probably 55 and up, but it will also hurt low income families because of
the higher premiums compared to their income. This legislation would end the
enhanced funding, and eliminate mandates, and require nearly all Americans to
have coverage and companies with more than 50 workers to provide coverage.
Now
the headline on this bill is worse than the bill itself. This bill does drop a
lot people and which could prove to be the fatal flaw. For insurance to work
everyone must pay in for everyone to receive benefits. Now this bill doesn’t
require people to use this health care plan which is going to cause some
problem. One of the main reasons out of the billion reasons why Obama care
failed miserably was there wasn’t enough people paying premiums to cover all
the costs so I don’t know how President Trump expects for this plan to work.
Now this bill seems correct when you read it because it says that since young
people aren’t getting sick they shouldn’t have to pay a lot in premiums and
vice versa with old people having to pay more because they are more likely to
get sick. I think this bill will be passed easily in the house, but the end result
of this legislation will end up being a dumpster fire sitting right next to
Obamacare.
This
current event deals with the budget committee and separation of powers in passing
a bill. In this story this legislation will have to be voted on and decided
whether the bill becomes law for this to happen there must be a simple majority
of 51 votes if a tie Vice president will break it. The budget committee has to
figure out before this becomes bill can the U.S. support this bill and how much
will this cost them. In this case this bill should save them 119 billion.
