The bill does bring down overall premiums in the individual market by about 10 percent by 2026 compared with what they would be under current law, the CBO found. But the CBO includes a big caveat: This would greatly differ based on age and income.
The CBO offers an example of a single individual with an annual income of $26,500.
If that person is 21 years old, he’ll largely benefit from the Republican health care bill. Under the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare), he would on average pay $1,700 in premiums for insurance. Under the Republican plan, he would pay $1,450.
But if that person is 64 years old, he would be hurt by the Republican bill. Under Obamacare, he would also pay $1,700 in premiums for insurance. But under the Republican bill, he would pay $14,600 — more than half his annual income. That amounts to more than a 750 percent increase in premiums from Obamacare to the Republican bill.

Essentially, it makes healthcare more affordable for young, middle class and wealthy people. It makes it unatainable for for the poor and particularly low income elderly.
Under the ACA, a 21 year old making 70k per year would pay @5k, with Trumpfailcare, it'll be @1500 but. But 21 year old making 70k should be willing and able to pay 5k per year for their healthcare.
Because, on the flipside, a 64 year old making 25k per year only pays 1.7k anually with the ACA, but the new plan would have them paying over half their annual income to get insurance. They simply wont be able to afford it at all. There is no giving up luxeries to buy it, that's a false narrative.
This is unacceptably bad. As a 40 something who's husband will be making close to 70k, let me just say id rather pay 5k than 1500, if that 3500 a year of ours allows older poor people access to healthcare, it seems a fair trade.
Otherwise, we are essentially murdering these people to grant those who don't really need it a few thousand dollars a year.
That Paul Ryan comment about not buying that new iphone seems a bit ironic now. Tell you what, here's my middle class new iphone and laptop per year. I donate these 2 things so approximately 7 other human beings can live. Who is so greedy they will not make this same trade?
