Here is a summary of the Congressional Budget Office estimate
of the effects of adopting Trumpcare vs keeping Obamacare.
Premiums for the YOUNG
in the individual market will go DOWN.
Premiums for OLDER AMERICANS will go UP.
Example:
The average premium for a 21 year-old will go from $5,100 under
Opamacare to $3,900 under Trumpcare, a DECREASE of $1,200.
The average premium for a 64 year-old will go from $15,300
under Obamacare to $19,500 under Tumpcare, an INCREASE of $4,200.
Subsidies for a 21 year-old earning $26,500 will DECREASE
from 3,400 to $2,450 or $950. Subsidies for a 64 year-old with the same income would DECREASE from $13,600 to $4,900 or
$8,700. SENIORS take a much bigger hit
at the time when their average premium INCREASES.
The Richer Americans
get subsidies they would NOT have under Obamacare. Poor American see their subsidies cut.
Example:
Single individuals with an income of 68,200 who DO NOT
receive subsidies under Obamacare will RECEIVE subsidies of $2,450 to $4,900
under Trumpcare depending on age.
The number of
UNINSURED will GO WAY UP.
Under Obamacare, the number of uninsured is expected to increase
by 2 million between now and 2026—26 million to 28 million.
Under Trumpcare, the number of uninsured is expected to
increase by 52 million in 2026, an INCREASE in the uninsured compared to Obamacare
of 24 million.
Under Trumpcare, the
UNINSURED in 2026 will include:
14 million people who
would have had coverage under Medicaid as a result of states cutting back
on expanded access to Medicaid provided under Obamacare
2 million people who
would have had nongroup coverage through the exchanges due to a reduction
on subsidies
7 million people who
would have had coverage through their employer due the removal of
requirements and penalties for businesses not providing coverage.
