Millions Risk Losing Health Insurance in Republican Plan, Analysts Say
The Republican House Health Care pLan in 2017 relies on tax credits of between $2000 and $4000 based on age. Under the Affordable Health Care Act the elderly poor in high cost insurance areas received additional help. These people would lose over $2000 per person and may forgo full coverage or coverage entirely under the Republican House Health Care Plan. A report by Standard & Poor's estimates about 2 to 4 million people who are in 50's and 60's not yet qualifying for Medicare might lose their coverage they now have under ACA. The Republican plan also gives incentives through tax credits higher for older people, $4000 for a 60 year ol and $2000 for a 25 year old. Under the ACA the insurers are not allowed to charge more than three times what is charged for younger people, under the Republican plan this goes up to five times.

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.

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.

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.
