TAX CREDITS WILL HURT THE STATES

The proposed insurance TAX CREDITS will hurt most states. Let me explain. I’ll try to make it simple.

About 29.8 are currently enrolled. If the ACA is repealed, they will lose health care. Simple deduction. In my State, Arizona, 709,000 people are enrolled. The Feds give Arizona $3.4 billion in matching Federal Funds.

If the new Trumpcare passes, Arizona will lose that “subsidy” of $3.4 billion. Other states will lose more or less, but, will lose. States that did not accept the subsidy, will lose, as well. Pay attention. Those who lose coverage will be forced to go to the Medicaid EXPANSION that will occur, taking MORE money from the State in lost insurance premium tax credits. People paying now, will cause job loss, personal income will be lowered by billions, health care industry jobs will decrease, 47% job loss in the industry in two years.

Republicans offer “vouchers” and tax credits. The voucher will initially shift approximately 11 percent of costs ($750) to seniors in 2023, an amount that will grow to 45 percent ($15,700) by 2087 (all figures are rounded). You can see how this adds up.

For example, a 40-year-old female who expects to retire at 65 in 2037 will live to about 2058, during which she will pay roughly $82,800 more for health care. Anything OVER the voucher coverage will be the responsibility of the individual.

Of the 709,000 people, 203,000 get coverage from the Exchange’ marketplace plans. If the State loses matching funds, it will cost Arizona $3.4 billion of it’s own revenue, plus it’s current matching rate. Double. Here’s the Mid-range problem. These people will now receive Tax Credits. 203,000 people taking an average in tax credits of $3600 a year, which means $730,800,000 (million) in LOST TAX REVENUE TO THE STATE.

I hope Arizona and ALL states look at the FACTS, not the ALTERNATE FACTS.

Hypocrites or not? You decide..

. SHELDON METZ · SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2016 To my ultra-religious friends who quote bible passages and support Trump, how about hearing this when he speaks on TV? Actual quotes fro a rally: DROPPING THE F - BOMB: "The Donald," as he is known, enters the arena, more as a billboard for self inflicted controversy. The supreme aggrandizer, somehow, stays in the game. Willing to use opening phrases such as, "Listen You Mother F*ckers …," which is cool, if your, you know, watching a film by Martin Scorsese, a play by David Mamet or listening to a rap song by Ice Cube, but as a presidential candidate, this is not cool at all. Once he gets a taste for the reaction, the audiences nervous laughter, the cussing continues. On Foreign Policy: "We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can't get a f*cking school in Brooklyn."

VERY IMPORTANT! - trump successfully diverted attention all week with his false rhetoric, tweets and insults, defaming veterans, Puerto Ricans, widows of dead soldiers, a Black Congresswoman, and who knows how much more, while his new, "old friend," Mitch McConnell set his Mongol Army on American Citizens. trump is the beginning of the final chapter of the Republican effort to show, Democracy doesn't work. The Country doesn't work. To bring down the Whole Country and Stephen  Bannon STATED VERBALLY and in PRINT he wanted to do. Reduce the Federal Government to a small "caretaker" government, where the citizens MUST rely strictly on their own for survival, no matter the circumstances. NO ENTITLEMENTS of any source (MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY ARE NOT ENTITLEMENTS.  BEWARE OF trump's TRICKS. Now you can see how they work.  > trump did his job. While he diverted the country with his insults and inane comments, lies and B.S., and the media assist...

Republican malevolence

The Temp President has created a mess. His vindictive Captain Queeg act and a Captain Ahab, McConnell, at the helm.  Now, a fugleman, Peter Lorre impersonator Lindsey Graham, has decided, amidst the clutter and chaos caused by the new Trump Party, to emulate his not-so-divine leader.  The new Senate Judiciary Chairman has decided during this period of Trump-inspired confusion and disorderliness, to dig up old, settled issues.  He’s decided to use the committee to begin investigations of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton; maybe Benghazi. Of course, this is nothing but another infant being placed in a position of being able to turn on the gas on the kitchen stove. Pampers diapers must be doing great business in D.C. Trump promised that following the elections, he would request these inquiries. Now, as the self-appointed Lord of Congress, he has his sycophants bidding his orders. Neither he nor McConnell nor Graham nor McCarthy nor 53 Senate Republicans ar...
