Looks like the GOP package will include
1) Removal of individual mandate but penalties for individuals who fail to maintain coverage continuously. If their coverage lapses and they decide to re-enroll, they would have to pay a 30 percent boost in premiums for a year.
2) Removal of subsidies for insurance and replace them with tax credits
3) Eliminate Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion
4) Removal of the extra taxes on 250K+ income (excellent)
5) Recreation of high risk pools
6) Cap the tax exemption for employer sponsored insurance at the 90th percentile of current premiums
7) Allow insurers to charge older customers up to five times as much as their younger counterparts. Currently, they can only charge them three times as much in premiums.
But the Freedom Caucus will probably balk anyway.
