2025. Kacie hunt is following off of this very quickly right now. Were open to negotiation, but we want the bill to look more like a repeal. Were afraid that when we read the bill, it looks like a rei r reiteration or a keeping. We believe the subsidies may exceed or equal the subsidies in obama care. As we look at the expense in the first year or two it may cost more than obama care. And as we look at a Brand New Program to pay Insurance Companies, the idea that well allow the death spiral of obama care to derath spiral, but we will subsidize it. I think we have a better chance of getting it modified. Right now youre a no vote . Yes, we cannot support it in the current iteration. Who is in the rest of the group . Senator cruz, lee, johnson, and myself. That is enough to take down the bill . It is not to take down the bill, its to make it better.

First, big cuts to medicaid, the cuts increase after ten years. Secondly, those tax credits that subsidize premiums, the senate bill pegs them to income. The house bill pegged them to a persons age. Third, the bill eliminates obamacares taxes on the wealthy. Some of those taxes on insurers as well, fourth preexisting condition coverage will stay. The plan, like the house bill ends the individual mandate. Finally, the costsharing reductions that offset the cost of things like deductibles. Those are only funded through 2019. Reaction from democrats, reaction from republicans has been swift. Here is just a sample. Im pleased we were able to arrive at a draft that incorporates input from so many different members. Please dont call this an open and fair process. You want to rush it through, admit the consequences. If they like this bill, theyd
