33, corporate amendment 17. I will make a clear from the start nature of this amendment is to try to follow the advice about every witness who testified in this room back in september about how to stabilize that exchanges. Everyones said we should make clear that the cost sharing reduction which would set the cost of copays and adaptable, make it clear they are going away for at least two years.

Number three, they said we should retain in the individual mandate if we decide not to replace it with something thats as effective in getting a good mix of young and Healthy People to be part of the insurance pool within the exchanges. The legislation before as a purely repeals or proposes to repeal the individual mandate. That would leave us with costsharing reduction and no reinsurance. Instead of a three legged stool which is what was called for by governors, insurance commissioner

Scrawled like something on the back of a napkin behind closed doors with the help of k street lobbyists . If thats not a recipe for swindling the middle class and loosening loopholes for the wealthy, i dont know what is.
