Trump/Ryancare Screws States Trump Won, And All For Tax Cuts For The Rich

A new report by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities (CPBB) show the states that will lose the most in subsidies on the Trump/Ryancare plan. One of the biggest problems, among many, with Trump/Ryancare is that the tax credit is constant based on your age, ignoring your income level and where you actually live. That means that the “subsidy” will be buy much less insurance in high cost states than lower cost states, which tend to be more densely populated. Below is a snippet from a graph that CPBB produced that compared the current average Obamacare subsidies with the Trump/Ryancare tax credit. I have shown only the states where the Trump/Ryancare that would reduce the subsidy by over $2,000 per year.

There are 21 states on the list and 20 of those states actually voted for Trump. It makes you wonder what exactly Republicans are trying to do with Trump/Ryancare other than, of course, providing a big tax cut for the rich. Are they really so secure in their electoral position to screw millions of their own voters simply to provide tax cuts for the rich or pretend to “keep their word”. I guess we shall see but if I were a Republican legislator in any of these states, I would take a long hard look at this chart.
