Business lobby opposes tax rise to fix health care bill ‚The tax-abatement proposal proposed by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is nothing more than a big tax cut for the wealthy and their wealthy families,“ Boehner’s spokesman, Michael Steel, said in a statement. „The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would further benefit the wealthiest Americans and corporations but fail to provide strong incentives for job creation or further investment in local projects.“
So where’s our good news, though? First, the Senate bill doesn’t do much to improve Obamacare, which has only gotten worse: The House bi바카라ll includes the same tax rates and cuts, but includes a health savings account tax, one of the most 더킹카지노beloved features of Obamacare. (We also le바카라arned this week that Republicans think the best way to stop coverage expansion is to pass an alternative plan that doesn’t do the same thing.)
What you do get in the House bill is a „premium support“ tax credit to help people buy insurance. The Senate bill repeals the credit entirely.
Another way to think about the Senate bill’s failure is that it’s a bad bill. The GOP bill actually calls for an even more unpopular plan to replace Obamacare. But the Senate bill is the last piece, the final piece, of the jigsaw puzzle.
I’m told the final pieces of the final puzzle will be delivered in the coming weeks, because Republican leaders have been tight-lipped about exactly what kind of bill Republicans will ultimately make up as an outline. It remains to be seen how much they will get the full House.
