The left are once again trotting out the everything-is-racist argument against the GOP. This time, they’re using it against the American Health Care Act and subsequent Obamacare repeal.
The latest celebrity to peddle this insane and irrelevant argument is Wanda Sykes. Apparently, she didn’t get the memo that race-baiting and identity politics failed massively in 2016. Even Barack Obama has stepped away from the tactic, recently admitting that not all Trump supporters are “automatically racist.”
Or maybe she actually believes that repealing Obamacare is racist. If so, she must think that Bill Clinton is racist, too, after he called the legislation the “craziest thing in the world.”
But she isn’t. She’s only interested in attacking the GOP and Trump. She doesn’t actually care about health. If she did, she would have to acknowledge that standards of care have actually fallen under Obamacare — and that’s not something she’s willing to do.
Watch her claim that repealing Obamacare is racist in the video on the next page:
LOL!! She is now an Economics guru!! LOL!!!
That’s is affirmative action Black privilege. Just blame the white folk
HERE’S HOW THE HOUSE BILL WOULD CHANGE HEALTH CARE FROM THE CURRENT LAW, by Kevin Ryan
REPEAL – The American Health Care Act, if passed by the Senate and signed into law, will dismantle most core aspects of ObamaCare, including:
• The employer mandate and penalties for not insuring employees who work more than 30 hours a week at companies with more than 50 employees are repealed.
• The individual mandate and penalties for not having insurance are repealed.
• Obamacare’s expansion of Medicaid will effectively be reversed in 2020 when the federal government stops funding it. States that have not already expanded would not be allowed to do so, starting immediately.
• Obamacare’s income-based subsidies are ended.
• The 3.8% tax on investment income is repealed.
• The 0.9% tax on higher income Americans is repealed.
• The tax on medical devices is eliminated.
• The tax on prescription medications is repealed.
• The tax on health insurance premiums is ended.
• The tax on Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) is repealed.
• The tax on tanning salons is repealed.
• The tax on retiree prescription drug coverage is repealed.
• The tax deduction on expenses exceeding 7.5% of a family’s income is reinstated (Obamacare had increased the threshold to 10%).
• Obamacare’s prohibition on using Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account (HSA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines is repealed.
• The tax penalty on withdrawing money from Health Savings Account for non-qualified medical expenses is repealed.
• State Medicaid plans will no longer have to cover some Obamacare-mandated essential health benefits.
• Planned Parenthood funding is eliminated.
KEEP – The law will keep several features of Obamacare:
• People with preexisting conditions cannot be denied coverage. The measure would provide states with federal funds to help set up high-risk pools to provide insurance to the sickest patients and to help those with pre-existing conditions pay for insurance.
• Dependents can still stay on their parent’s health insurance plan until age 26.
• Insurers are still prohibited from setting annual and lifetime limits on individual coverage.
• The “Cadillac tax” on generous healthcare plans will remain, but be postponed from 2020 to 2025.
• Current Medicaid enrollees will be grandfathered in when the federal government stops providing the extra federal funds that allow for expansion in 2020.
REPLACE – The replacement part of the bill includes several major changes to existing law:
• Obamacare’s income-based subsidies are replaced by age-based tax credits of $2,000 to $4,000 per person per year, increasing with someone’s age. The credits would start to phase out for individuals earning $75,000 and households earning $150,000, and would be unavailable for individuals who earn more than $215,000.
• Although the annual penalty for not having insurance is repealed, people who wait until they become sick or let their coverage lapse for more than 63 days can be charged a 30% surcharge on premiums for one year when they do finally sign up.
• The amount people and employers can contribute to tax-free health savings accounts will double.
• Private plans are still required to offer ten essential health benefits, but states can now opt out of the requirement.
• States will now be able to opt out of Obamacare’s mandate that insurers charge the same rates to sick and healthy people.
• Under Obamacare, insurers could only charge seniors up to 3 times more than they charged young people. The new law changes that restriction to 5 times more.
MEDICAID REFORM – The GOP bill would also significantly overhaul the Medicaid program.
• The bill would end Medicaid as an open-ended entitlement and would put the program on a budget.
• States would receive an allotment of federal money for each beneficiary, or, as an alternative, they could take the money in a lump sum as a block grant, with fewer federal requirements.
• States will also be able to require able-bodied Medicaid recipients to work, participate in job training programs, or do community service.
• The Congressional Budget Office projects that bill would cut the federal government’s spending on Medicaid by 25% by 2026 as compared to current .. ban abortions and sell guns on every corner that should save America lol
