The real losers in the GOP's latest Obamacare repeal plan [View all]
Senate Republicans have struggled for months now to find a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare that their 52-member caucus can get behind. Their latest plan, which began taking shape early Tuesday, is to simply repeal the individual mandate and a few other regulations — a strategy since dubbed “skinny repeal.”
It would hurt some American health care consumers in a very different way than previous GOP bills would have.
The losers of a skinny repeal bill, should it pass, are the middle-income Americans who purchase coverage on the individual market.
Many of the Obamacare enrollees I’ve interviewed in Southeastern Kentucky, an area that predominantly voted for Trump, fall into this category.
