Outrage: Paul Ryan Replaces Obamacare Penalty With Even Larger Penalty

Paul Ryan

President Trump may not want to sign off on Paul Ryan's Obamacare replacement in its current form.

According to Breitbart.com, House Speaker Paul Ryan's American Healthcare Act carries even stiffer fines than former President Obama's disastrous Affordable Care Act.

High income earners complained bitterly about Obamacare's individual mandate penalty which was enforced by the IRS. The penalty cost one blogger $1,500 in fines for not having health insurance.

But Ryan's proposal replaces Obama's penalty with a 30 percent surcharge of their monthly premium for failing to carry health insurance over 63 days.

Unlike Obamacare, Ryan's penalty is not tied to income, making the penalty costlier for the elderly and low-income Americans.

via Breitbart -- Avalere Health reports that “a 50 year old individual at 100% of the federal poverty level ($11,880 in income for 2016) could pay over $1,000 more in penalties under AHCA for not having insurance in the prior year than what she would pay for not having insurance under the current law.

Trump supporters are expected to loudly voice their disapproval of Ryan's plan at President Trump's rally in Nashville, Tennessee next week.

  • SugarFoot a.k.a Ty

    Well they're all phucked now cause Trump can't read the plan to veto it smdh maybe the crypt keeper (Kelly Anne) will read it to him

  • Soda

    I read that trump is the 3rd Fattest President---what an honor!

  • JV

    I have to say I'm really skeptical of this. The whole thing with Tea Party conservatives was the individual mandate clause -- or at least that was one of the biggest parts -- and from everything else I've read, that's been abolished. The bill that passed the house I don't believe had anything like this, but they are still debating in the senate and it could go back and forth.

  • iWasteTime

    I would like to know if they are trying to give us a A La Carte plan?
    Rep John Shimkus said yesterday that Men shouldn't pay for prenatal care. How sir? I propose that women don't pay for E.D drugs or prostate screenings. The Dem Rep was like how would you NOT pay for prenatal care?

He's always the "least racist", knows "the smartest", gets the "best ratings", etc. Well, he will go down as one of the worst presidents ever and this Trumpcare will be a tremendous disaster. *does tiny hand gestures* Believe me.

    Most Western countries have a national healthcare plan. They essentially charge more in taxes, to cover the cost. That way, everybody is covered, and nobody has to ever go into bankruptcy because of a medical/ health emergency. It could work here too, but Rethuglican scare tactics make people afraid to go with a nationalized heath plan.

  • Phillybruh

    He is against them calling it Trumpcare....I think that is what I will call it from now on...Trumpcare

  • Seek Truth Speak Truth

    Said blogger can't protest if blogger isn't well. Have to be healthy to fight the good fight. Insurance is important and most people see it as a right. Some see it as a luxury. Others don't see it at all because "they don't get sick" UNTIL they get sick and THEN they need insurance. I hope said blogger is ok now.

    But wait!....I thought this administration could do no wrong, I thought ANYTHING Trump's administration did would be better than ol' illegal alien, non American, Satan worshiper, Moooslum Obummer?

  • Queen B

    So basically this is not better than Obamacare

  • Kwamella Diquan

    I gotchoo but some folks cant afford health insurance esp if you're talking about insuring a household of 4 or 5. Not only that, some companies do not offer health insurance to their employees.

  • Kwamella Diquan

    Mine either! hes just another govt employee with a big ace cubicle.

  • Readytochokemothernatureonout

    I'm sorry those who didn't vote for him and have to suffer. Those who did or chose not to vote at all.... not at all....

  • Nanny

    A good plan is expensive if you don't qualify for a subsidy. I pay $508 pm for just me. I'm in Md

  • http://batman-news.com Roderick2011

    That was until Trump picked Sandra Mae's pockets.

    Ha,ha,ha!!

  • Lovely1

    The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. Hasn't this always been the case? This is exactly how this administration wanted it. What I find interesting is the number of people who complained about Obamacare which was really "Hillary Clinton Care" that was carried out by Obama...who didn't even understand why they didn't like the plan. Obama had the plan thought out, but when Governor Nathan Deal wouldn't accept the "package" or money Obama reapportioned to the states (in my case, GA), it costs us (GA citizens) because they increased our premiums on employer health insurance, etc. The same was the case for ALL red states. The same ppl who bad mouthed Obama are now complaining.

    Donald Trump's is trading personal gain and putting the US citizens in the center of his ploy. Just using us as pawns. I saw this coming. (I digress).

  • Harlem

    Sandra you voted for Orange, do you have insurance? How do you feel about those fees you have to pay for not having insurance?? Inquiring minds want to know!

  • Lorenzo Chaps

    If you're purchasing through your job, as most Americans do, then you never feel the burden because you're buying coverage through a group plan. But for those tax payers who under under employed or self employed, they feel it because the "subsidy" still leaves a hefty amount. A lot of people truly can not afford to have health insurance coverage. That's a real thing.

  • jussaying

    that's why bernie started that campaign lol.

  • Liah

    LMAO!!!...Thats why he will always will be "The Donald" to me!

  • Lorenzo Chaps

    Why is there a penalty period for not having health insurance? This is how you know this has nothing to do with the well being of the American people/taxpayers.

    The penalty will eat up any refund if it applies to you. I noticed this year taxpayers were asked why they didn't have health coverage for the number of months gone uninsured. Depending on the reason, the penalty was waived. As all taxpayers know, each year is a different beast so that waiver may not be in place come next year filing (for 2017).

  • SugarFoot a.k.a Ty

    Sandra can't vote.....

  • Lorenzo Chaps

    yep, my insurance through my job is horrible and pricier than what I paid in the past.

  • Lorenzo Chaps

    yep. Temp employees come to mind. I think many companies have now come around to offering health insurance, but again, it's pretty expensive to have 50+ bucks hit your check every week, etc. So many just go without.

  • Queen B

    Im self employed i pay 27/month

  • Queen B

    Is that per month? Are u self employed? If so im pretty sure your insurance can b lower that if u let them know what your AGI will be and not your overall income. I made 125k in 2016 but after my deductions it looks like i made only 30k there I usually get a great subsidy so my insurance is only 27/month

  • Queen B

    I hear you but its not that damn difficult u can get a cmo insurance for your kids betta get somebody to make those paystubs lol

  • Lorenzo Chaps

    Do you really pay that little? IDK of anyone paying that little amount, seriously. When people would say Obamacare was too high, I could relate because (before settling for coverage thru my job) I checked rates with any qualifying subsidies and was quoted between 2-300 per month, individual.

    You're lucky. $27 a month for health coverage???

  • Queen B

    Yes sir i do!!! Im in Atlanta so idk if they has something to do with it. But after my tax deductions my AGI is about 30k

  • Nanny

    Yeah its every month, and not including my dental. No, I'm not self employed. I'm a nanny so I get a w-2. I have a platinum plan. I have myasthenia gravis, so I get sick a lot.

  • Lovely1

    Right. Mine is too. Especially the deductible...This was a direct result of Nathan Deal (or other governors) refusing to cooperate with Medicaid expansion. They didn't want the plan to work. The pan was optional for the states, but had Nathan Deal accepted, there wouldn't have been such an increase for employer based insurance. As a result of him not accepting the deal, WE (working/paying citizens) had to cover the "gap" for the people who were too poor to afford their own insurance and too rich to qualify for services, such as Medicare. People living in states where Medicaid was accepted (Ohio, Kentucky...etc) didn't feel the hurt like citizens living in red states did. On its WORST day, the Affordable Care Act was better than this nonsense Paul Ryan is pitching.

  • puppylove

    And dont have dental coverage.

  • Jen_no_juice

    ?? I'm here wit yall

  • Lorenzo Chaps

    Isn't it funny the number of people now coming out to say ACA wasn't so bad after all. There was a cancer patient survivor who went on record to say although he initially opposed Obamacare, had it not be for this, he would have died because the meds are so expensive and his regular insurance would not cover it. The plot thickens.

  • nick c

    They have to have the penalty because young people won't buy and the system will be flooded with the sick and the poor, it's all a percurser to universal care.

  • nick c

    ACA still trash.

  • Lorenzo Chaps

    Americans strongly oppose universal care. Interesting though. We'll see if it gets there or how long it'll take to get there.

  • Luvn_it

    But yesterday you and other drumpf supporters seemed to be all for the new health care plan(b/c it had nothing to do with Obama). Now everything is different since you're getting the small print facts.

  • Kwamella Diquan

    And that's sad

  • http://batman-news.com Roderick2011

    No Republicans are emphasizing the repeal part because they know that their supporters voted against their own interest because they wanted to see the centerpiece of Obama's legacy destroyed.

    Republicans stay playing 3-card Monte.

  • hottlanta

    Yeah like those low fake job numbers under President Obama that are all of a sudden legit he is trying to get credit for them.

  • Rahab

    The Wonderful World of the White's from West Virginia.

  • Tena

    Here's the thing...unless they lower the cost of doctors, hospital, and pharmacy costs. No matter how much they slice and dice Obama Care, they will never come up with a more superior policy.

  • dontgetblocked

    Keep your insurance the way it is. Cheaper policies mean cheaper coverage and you need good coverage with your illness.

  • dontgetblocked

    Calm down. This is a legislative process. They're still adding and trimming. Hold your complaints until everything is completed.

  • Michelle

    Please. That "add and trim" shouldn't never even been an option. Since they complain so much about ACA penalty's

  • Nanny

    I won't. I've been in the hospital 2 weeks for the past 3 yrs.

  • Rhyme and Reason

    "THE PLOT THICKENS!" We seem to be going back in time (to Jim Crow, McCarthyism to WWII Era - hate crimes) since Trump's win. Many people see just how much they voted against their own interests because we're capitalists! Politicians, Government serves big business, but people still don't realize that, well many will over the next 4 years! Anytime staunch Republicans are complaining about the repeal and new offering, we know many will be hurt!

    I'm sure Obama's watching and saying, 'didn't I tell you...'

  • hottlanta

    Why isn't Dump publically disavowing WikiLeaks freestyle hacking our CIA office since he was singing their praises since the election. This is an attack on our democracy and he tweets/says nothing. Don't you find that rather strange. Pay more attention when he doesn't tweet than when he does. When he goes silent I know something is wrong.

    Just copying and pasting to appear they are working soooo hard and they are trying to sneak it in the back door Nixon style and get it approved before the CBO gets a chance to review and score it. Office Depot just ran out of correction tape.

  • hottlanta

    Right on But where did you get the cartoon the way the black woman is wearing the scarf on her head. We don't do that anymore.

  • Empress

    ACA is problematic they need to fixi it. But that horrible plan is TrumpCare. Trump is just trying to throw Ryan under the bus because the plan is so unpopular with conservatives.

  • Zizzle

    LOL! Gramps in the zippered cardigan looks a bit dated, too.

  • B.Loveitt

    Why is the rich chick who apparently can't afford pants, nor can her "Hive" fashion her any kind of pants from honeycombs placed in this pic?
