The AHCA also nearly doubles the cap on Health Savings Account contributions. A couple can now contribute a little over 13k per year.

If you are generally healthy and have used up all of your tax-advantaged retirement space, then this is like another 13k a year you can invest or stash tax-free and withdraw with no penalty when you're 65.

That's a significant boost for high-income and generally healthy people.

Do HSAs have an earnings cap for contributions like 401ks?

You're thinking of Roth IRAs not 401k. But no, no earnings cap for HSA. Even the Roth IRA earnings limitation is incredibly easy to circumvent (fund a traditional ira, immediately convert it to a Roth IRA, pay no tax because it has no earnings).

I was actually thinking of the Highly Compensated Employee stuff, but apparently that just has to do with employer match rather than employee contributions.

But of course middle class fuckers will decide that being able to sock away an additional 6500 in their HSA yearly is worth watching millions die.

No guarantee they'll control the Senate for part C.

And it's gonna be hard to get a partial law passed, even with the GOP because who is going to vote for something that if not completed (and honestly even if completed) is going to alienate old people and tons of others for insurance company money. Some, but surely not a majority.

I hope.

the best negotiator on the planet.

Quite the cult of personality you've got there, Mr President. Shame if something happened to it.

Homer would be getting Obamacare subsidies with his 3 kids, but would have a dramatically decreased subsidy under the AHCA.


Yeah, but what year was this? Looks like he makes roughly 10.50/hr before tax. If that was 1992 (call it season 3ish), then that would adjust to 18.17 or so now.

Yeah... he's not going to be doing well with 3 kids and needing the AHCA.

Yeah it would be truly terrible if we made it so that people who wanted to become doctors could do so for free and then provide care that didn't have the cost of medical school loans baked in.

I figure Kansas has had enough of True Conservatism for a little while, actually. They're not sticking their dick back in that electrical socket for at least a year. That should be enough time to forget how completely Brownbeck wrecked their state.

The only way Kansas figured out how hosed up it is involves health insurance ceasing to cover all the Xanax that every JoCo housewife and househusband are tanked to the loving gills on.

This is not what happened with the ACA

I'm not sure how that analogy should go.

You pushed for Jersey Mikes, but instead your mom gave you white bread with bologna that had been sitting out for a couple hours instead?
