It takes away the mandate but the tax credits will not cover a health insurance plan, maybe a catastrophic plan but certainly not the deductible. Lacking a mandate how do they cover pre-existing conditions and children up to 26, where is the funding coming from.

Under the proposed bill, tax credits would start at $2,000 a year for individuals under age 30, rising to $4,000 for those of 60. The proposal, first seen in Feb. 10 draft of the bill, has been criticized as too meager to cover the full cost of a health insurance plan that provides full benefits.
Without a mandate, yet pre-existing conditions must be covered, watch for skyrocketing premiums. Also, watch for medical costs to go up to cover the uninsured seeking treatment in ERs.
The cowards make the medicaid loss go into full effect after 3 years, timed after the midterms. Make it immediate and see how the people think of them in 2018.

They have yet to do the math. The CBO scoring. So no answers to a bunch of questions, including total cost, number of people covered, value of the tax credits compared to the ACA subsidies.

I don't see that the numbers add up, how do you cover those elements without a mandate, also they are freezing Medicaid at current levels.

I still see a rather large problem, if young healthy people don't sign up but jump into Medicaid later in life won't that drive up costs. I can easily see a 20 year old ignoring the tax credit early in life particularly because they are in a low tax bracket.
Four GOP senators have expressed concern about Medicaid expansion.
