Good parts of the Repubes’ plan…
(1) Subsidies appear to be here to stay
(2) By allowing premiums to pass through a taxfree HSA, it effectively extends the self-employed health insurance tax credit to W-2 wage earners who are not insured. Why do this in such a convoluted way?
Hopefully, states will require insurance (a la Massachusetts pre-ACA) and set quality controls on what polities are acceptable, as well as community-rating like NY did pre-ACA and still does.
