Health care plan unveiled to repeal Obamacare
House Republicans released bills to replace the ACA with conservative health policy. They would end penalties for not having insurance and allow a 30 percent surcharge for gaps while keeping coverage for dependents to 26 and protections for pre existing conditions. Four GOP senators warned against plans leaving many uninsured and opposed tax credit structures and Medicaid shifts. Tax credits would range from two thousand to four thousand dollars with phase outs tied to income.
