Older adults, seniors seen a block to Republican's Obamacare replacement: NYT

[JakeStarkey]

Senior and older Americans are going to have real problems with the GOP's new government health care plan.

Higher premiums are a real stick, "the New York times reports, saying lobbying group AARP and allies have already objected in calls to legislators. The New York Times said that those aged in their 50s and 60s could see premiums rise by $2,000 to $3,000 a year, equivalent to 20 percent to 25 percent, or higher, by changing current rules stating adults in those age brackets cannot be charged more than three times what they charge young adults for coverage."

The refundable tax credits simply can't cover the cost. It is logical health care companies, like private schools, will raise rates to match any government refundable tax credits or vouchers.

Seniors vote.

Republicans today do not care for the health or welfare of Americans. Simple statement but when you are guided by ideology humanity goes out the window. But these same people, some at least, voted for Trump or didn't vote. There may be a lesson here and the democrats and conscious republicans need to stress that voting matters.

voting matters but so does one's education.....it does seem when you let idiots vote they do elect the biggest idiot

Thanks for the DNC news report Jake, but only a dummy would believe them.

That said Obamacare is a fucking bad joke, but Rs won't fix it. The politicians and government bureaucrats are owned by big HC and Pharma. Thanks to the crony capitalist system imposed on us by statists and leftists like you.

gipper does not want to believe what Trump said and did not say. OK.

Then you believe them with your comments in your second paragraph. And that makes you a . . . dummy?
