HuffPo claims this is the current draft of the secret U.S. #Senate Tax Cut for Billionaires... Eerm I mean #ACHA "#healthcare" bill

#Senate #ReverseRobinHood #AHCA Page 1: If you get a job or a raise, the IRS will come after you for any healthcare premium credits you received already that year without any limits, even if it bankrupts you (Obamacare had put limits on this for low income households; AHCA removes those) https://social.coop/media/l5tSinbdusOijjSdQxE
#Senate #ReverseRobinHood #AHCA Page 2: Lower the Obamacare income caps. This throws people close to the old limit off of subsidized insurance:
Family of 4 earning $86K - $98K
Family of 2 earning $57K - $65K
Singles earning $42K - $48K
(this also extends coverage to people in the "Medicaid gap" in those states that refused the Medicaid expansion) https://social.coop/media/aI9Rxnqsc-mYqMAS0Ag
#Senate #ReverseRobinHood #AHCA Also Page 2:
Narrow the definition of LEGAL immigrants allowed to participate (maybe kick off DACA recipients? need immigration expert) https://social.coop/media/u54Apgtr5DkJscTWsEA
#Senate #ReverseRobinHood #AHCA pp. 5-6: MASSIVE premium increases for anyone using the exchanges/credits through a sneaky combination of:
1. Lowering the standard for credit calculations from a plan that pays at least 70% of your costs to a plan that pays up to 58% of costs
2. Raising the income-based limits for seniors (WTF? from 9.5% to 16.2% in the worst case)
3. Lowering the nationwide cap on credits https://social.coop/media/fw2xdiSlO3vC2MybP7M https://social.coop/media/mPvUMbRahwTl5z4vhEg
Taking a break to tend to my day job. Also note: I didn't analyze the House version, so I'm not sure how much of this is new
