How many of these people are you going to buy health insurance for using your tax savings?

Which one of the line items in the report do you think was calculated incorrectly? Please point out which calculations had conservative bias applied to them.

When people don't have health insurance, we all pay for them. So get used to paying more for your insurance.

Well, I was kind of hoping that the person who posted the link could explain the source before I spent the time entering my personal financial data into a website with no identifying information, but, since you encouraged me to talk to my dear friend google, here goes:

Exec producer for Stossel Productions. Sr producer for @reason. Write for FoxNews.com. Created ElectionBettingOdds.com.

I checked his ElectionBettingOdds site as well. It gives Trump a 27% chance of being re-elected and 50-50 odds of leaving the presidency early. Depending on how you feel about Trump, that might give you pause (or not) when relying on his "calculator" as your tax consultant.

I guess I'll just wait for the official IRS calculator.

I think you misunderstood my question, so I'll restate it. How many uninsured people are you going to offer to insure by having the insurance bill sent to you for payment? The answer to this question will take the form of a number.

When trump eliminates the mandate, my insurance costs will drop by 100%.

No -- because it isn't worth my time.

I am not going to debate content from a guy who works on the John Stossel show -- lol. That would be like suggesting you take information from someone who works for Don Lemon -- I don't think so!!!!!

Ok. Then just present the numbers that you derived based on the tax plan and I'll figure out the discrepancies myself.

Thing is-no one "loses their health insurance". THe only change is that those that can't afford a horribly overpriced, Obamacare compliant plan are no longer penalized for not being able to afford it.

Actually I'll save about $2,200 of the nearly $11,000 currently taken from me by the federal government. A 20% cut in taxes is nothing to sneeze at. If you don't want your tax cut, you are more than welcome to send it to me. Or just mail it to President Trump, since he's the one responsible. On top of that, the business tax cut will help everyone and spur business growth (as well as the extra spending power we all have). Now it's understandable how this upsets you liberals-having individuals progress as a result of their own efforts, rather than being dependant on government handouts-destroys the basis of liberalism.
