quote:

Other changes proposed by Republicans align with previous ideas for strengthening the individual insurance market, which has been unstable under Obamacare with rising premiums and dwindling competition. For example, the legislation would 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. The insurers have been pushing for that change.

The proposal also includes 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. Like the unpopular individual mandate, that penalty is designed to discourage individuals from waiting until they get sick to get coverage.

BTW if you base it on age you'll crater the whole system because you'll be actively encouraging only super old people to jump into insurance pools thus making them insanely unprofitable

mark my words, Trump is going to boost this horrible plan because he can say it is a campaign promise met and the mewling cowards in the Senate will then send it along. Not a single GOPer has opposed anything at all even once even slightly without approval in advance from McConnell so let's not pretend any of them will kill it

Before I got married I had my now-wife on my healthcare plan, which meant I had to pay taxes on the employer-paid portion of the premium in addition to the portion I paid. I was netting half my gross.

yeah that's called imputed income and is the value of the benefit your employer provides your partner who isn't qualified as a tax dependent, essentially increasing your taxable income by that amount.
