8,000,000 people are currently (2016) subject to significant tax penalties (2.5%) under the ACA mandate. Bottom line, it's regressive as hell...hurting the poor the most with 58% of the penalties going to those who make less than $50,000 a year.
Awesome job Democrats! F*ck the poor.
Many of them actively choose to not buy healthcare, even though they could because Obama. Others are stuck in no man's land because of states failing to expand Medicaid.8,000,000 people are currently (2016) subject to significant tax penalties (2.5%) under the ACA mandate.

Wife has an acquaintance who noted on Facebook that she refused to get health insurance because Obamacare is socialism which is evil and wrong.
When her son broke a bone, she drove two hours to a Native American hospital for free care because she has enough of heritage to qualify.
I'm talking about the poor and how the Democrats have totally screwed them with the mandate....are you conceding my point or just diverting?10% increase in premiums something like 13M losing coverage under the proposed bill. The problem you are describing is because the GOP has done what they can to sabotage how the ACA was supposed to work.
But hey honesty was never exactly your strong suit.

Availability? The poor will have more access to cheaper plans than ever before.Any reason you left out the effects on insurance costs and availability to those making less than $50,000 if the mandate were removed? I wonder if those effects aren’t way, way more regressive than the mandate itself?
No need to answer that, we already know why.

I'm talking about the GOP tax plan...the Senate tax plan repeals the mandate.Diverting?!?!??!?!?! This was a thread about the GOP tax plan and you brought up the ACA mandate! Again, any thoughts on the subject of the thread?
Availability? The poor will have more access to cheaper plans than ever before.
The state legislature, however, repealed that last provision two years later. With the guaranteed access provisions still standing, the state saw premiums rise and enrollment drop, as residents only purchased coverage when they needed it. Health insurers fled the state and, by 1999, it was impossible to buy an individual plan in Washington — no company was selling.
Too bad 8,000,000 people didn't get the memo....must suck to be them.No screwing with the poor is gutting medicaid expansion and crippling the exchanges. Then they can get insurance for what the mandate penalty costs them.

So tell me more about all the cheaper plans and better access. I have no idea how people convince themselves of this absolute bullshit. The power of extreme partisanship I guess.
ALL HAIL INTERSTATE EXCHANGES....THE HEALTHCARE SAVIOR WE NEED!
I'm not talking about those making $75k-$100k. I'm talking about the working poor who are getting totally screwed over by the mandate.Even if it was as simple as you think, why does the plan manage to both repeal the mandate and increase taxes on people making under $75k-$100k per year? If you think the mandate means the Democrats hate the poor, surely this means that the GOP hates the poor even more and additionally hates the middle class.

You have the RIGHT to work.. and not form unions.. what more do you want damnit... how much trickle you need anyway?Trickle down???
Boards of directors and CEOs have a fiduciary duty not to trickle down profits to employee wages! Their duty is to the stockholders not the employees, They will take the profits and reinvest them in the company, ie. stock buybacks!
And he is substituting democrats with republicans. Republicans is screwing the poor by screwing up ACA.I'm talking about the poor and how the Democrats have totally screwed them with the mandate....are you conceding my point or just diverting?
The poor working class (8,000,000 people) are paying a 2.5% tax on their income because they can't afford health insurance. So....not only do that get a HUGE TAX PENALTY, they get ZERO INSURANCE. Democrats have a really twisted idea of what "helping" the poor looks like in the real world.And he is substituting democrats with republicans. Republicans is screwing the poor by screwing up ACA.
