Mainecat Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 AARP Tears Apart New GOP Obamacare Replacement Plan Source: Talking Points Memo By CAITLIN MACNEAL Published MARCH 8, 2017, 10:43 AM EDT In a letter to Republican House leaders on Tuesday, the AARP voiced staunch opposition to House Republicans' bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, warning that the bill could dramatically increase costs for seniors and harm other vulnerable Americans. "This bill would weaken Medicare’s fiscal sustainability, dramatically increase health care costs for Americans aged 50-64, and put at risk the health care of millions of children and adults with disabilities, and poor seniors who depend on the Medicaid program for long-term services and supports and other benefits," Joyce Rogers, the senior vice president for governmental affairs at AARP, wrote in the letter. Rogers wrote that the AARP is very concerned about a provision in the bill that would let insurers charge older Americans five times more than younger Americans. Obamacare had restricted companies to charging older Americans just three times more. The AARP warned that age rating, paired with a reduction in subsidies made available to offset the cost of health care, could cause costs to spike drastically for Americans aged 50-64.

hayward Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) It's pretty sad when you work your tail off and make $59,000/year and you're considered a welfare case. I'd say cost of living is a bit out of wack. Edited March 9, 2017 by hayward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
