Am I not understanding this correctly? All of the mandates are gone. People are free to shop around and buy any health insurance they want. Or none at all. Competition will be introduced via allowing ins cos to operate across state lines.
Pre existing conditions will be covered by special risk pools.
There will be tax credits to offset the cost of health insurance. And everyone gets to have an HSA.
People who can’t afford to buy will be able to get Medicaid.
Now, what is it I’ve got wrong? I admit to not spending much time on reading the Act.
If you drop insurance for 63 days when you buy it again it will cost 30% more in premiums for 1 year. For most people that will add up to more dollars in penalty than the IRS was collecting.
Probably unconstitutional. And if not, what will force insurance companies to sell across state lines?
Pre existing conditions will be covered by special risk pools.
And if your state chooses not to fund a special risk pool?
There will be tax credits to offset the cost of health insurance. And everyone gets to have an HSA.
If they can afford to fund an HSA. And if the credits cover the increasingly expensive premiums.
People who can’t afford to buy will be able to get Medicaid.
If they didn't qualify for Medicaid before Obamacare then they won't be able to get Medicaid under this plan since it eliminates the Medicaid expansion.
Now, what is it I’ve got wrong? I admit to not spending much time on reading the Act.
It doesn't address the Obamcare problem of skyrocketing healthcare insurance premiums.
