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 If the ACA is repealed, they will lose health care.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.

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...

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."

Trump’s great satirical performance

Republicans, lie after lie, still support the Agent Orange-in-Chief. They know he lies, admit it in fact, yet still “believe in him.” How can that be? He recently held a Cabinet meeting, similar to one held a year ago, where he gave his sycophant Cabinet Secretaries the opportunity to praise glory on the exalted Russian lackey, himself - one of his greatest satirical performances. Trump: “Every day, Border Patrol encounters roughly 2,000 illegal immigrants … trying to enter our country. …”  Fact:  The daily number of what he calls “illegals” is actually about 1,000.  Trump (regarding Foreign Aid): “… the Democrats… want $12 billion additional for foreign aid… It’s $54.4 billion… but in foreign aid, they want 12 billion over the $54 billion…”  Fact: The total fiscal 2018 budget for the State Department ($12 billion), and foreign operations including foreign aid, $42 billion. Republicans control the Senate. Trump: “(Afghanistan) built the library in Afghan...
