2k is 2k more than the 0 most people receive under Obamacare.

UNDER THE ACA, EVERYONE WHO MAKES UP TO 400% OF THE POVERTY LEVEL RECEIVES AID.

EVERYONE.

(sorry for shouting, but I am sick of the lies and misinformation)

The average enrollee received $300/mo, or almost $5k/yr, far more than what the Republicans are proposing! (source: https://www.cms.gov/Newsroom/MediaReleaseDatabase/Fact-sheets/2016-Fact-sheets-items/2016-06-30.html?DLPage=1&DLEntries=10&DLSort=0&DLSortDir=descending ) Those with more dire financial conditions, of course, received more. None of this flat tax credit BS. And that number is expected to increase for 2017 (data for that isn't available yet), because the system scales with the cost of insurance.


That's simply not true in California at least. The cutoff to receive any aid at all was at around 31k a year when I checked this year, and you wouldn't get close to $300 a month until you got close to the level where you would qualify for Medi-Cal, CA's free health insurance system.

I mean it also depends on family size and age, but the fact is, a lot of non-rich people will be getting a lot more from the proposed tax credits than under Obamacare.
