re: Rs rewriting health bill to limit tax credit eligibility

Let's stop having a slapfight over last year's signaling and start talking about what a pile of hot garbage this bill is shaping up to be. If they're already limiting the tax credits just based on CBO scores then there seems to be little hope of this turning out to be anything more than a sort of health-specific EITC. I don't see where the new incentive to control costs is supposed to come from.

It was inevitable. One, they're rushing to get something, anything, drafted to fulfill a promise they've been making for 8 years now. Two, their primary goal is eliminating the tax increase for higher income filers that ACA introduced. And they're trying to do that while maintaining, or improving, current health insurance coverage across the board. The numbers just aren't going to work.

It's hard for a bill to be revenue neutral when it doesn't include actual revenue. I'm anxious to see if they are willing to propose a plan that will blow up the deficit.
