Who Wins and Who Loses Under Republicans’ Health Care Plan
This article in the NYT provides a look at the features of the Republican House Health Care Plan- Both the Affordable Health Care Act and the House Plan provide incentives for buying insurance- the ACA bases these incentives on income levels whereas the House Plan does not provide additional help for low incomes or elderly. Incomes at $20,000 would see a loss greater than $2000 under the House Plan and as many of the elderly poor living in high cost areas may not have the resources to make up for this loss of subisidies they may forgo buying insurance or have insurance coverage that protects only in a limited way. President Trump has given assurances that all will be covered. For people with incomes of $50,000 or $75000 the loss of $2000 subisidies would also have some impact. At larger incomes or the well to do the subsidies are not handed out under either plan. Under the ACA the emphasis was on income levels and high cost insurance areas the subsidies were greater, under the House Plan the subisidies would be higher for the elderly compared to the young but very low income levels are not given additional help.

About 8 million people enrolled by April 2014 for private health insurance on Health Exchanges setup under the Affordable Care Act (Obama Healthcare Law)
03/18/2014
The Congressional Budget Office estimate is for 6 million enrollment on Health Exchanges in 2014, lower than previously estimated 7 million. This follows the flawed rollout of the Obama Healthcare website in 2013 and efforts to correct this.

The uninsured in the U.S. and the Affordable Care Act (Obama healthcare law)
09/17/2010
About 53% of the uninsured showed disapproval of the law, compared to 51% of the insured in a CBS/New York Times poll in Dec. 2013. About a third of the uninsured say it will help them personally, and about a third of the uninsured say the cost will hurt them personally. Six out ten uninsured still think it will make their health better, a third say they will likely pay the penalty for not carrying insurance. For a law designed to help the unisured this shows some serious shortcomings in the law in the way cost issues were addressed, including the rising cost of healthcare in the U.S.

11/19/2015
Middle class people are not eligible for subsidies and face rapidly rising insurance premiums as insurance companies increase premiums. This goes to pay for the added coast of treating people with prior health conditions and other problems who were previously uninsured or inadequately insured.

Coverage for the 10-12 million people who buy medical insurance on their own under the Affordable Health Care Act (Obama Healthcare Law)
10/29/2013
These people have to sign up for new plans in 2013 compared to the about 149 million people who have employer coverage and do not have to change their plans. Under the new law people cannot be denied coverage for preexisting conditions and people with lower income will get subsidies for their premiums so they will benefit. Benefits are also more broader and more generous. To pay for this insurance companies are charging others higher premiums.

The Affordable Care Act (Obama Health Care Law) and the increasing number of people who may lose employer coverage
06/16/2011
Under the Obama healthcare law (Obamacare) businesses can opt to pay a fine of $2000 instead of providing coverage. The people losing coverage are then put in an exchange where they can buy insurance, with those whose premiums are more than 9.5% of income receiving subsidies. The incentive for employers to pay the fine and dump workers on the exchange can put 11 million to 80 million additional people on the exchange. The cost of the Obama health care law would rise significantly as a result.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
