CBPP's Jennifer Sullivan posted a thread on Bluesky explaining that some Republican responses to the marketplace premium tax credit issue would steer people from silver plans with PTCs and cost-sharing reductions into high-deductible bronze plans bsky.app/profile/jenniferlsu…

Official CBO analysis confirms the obvious: House Republican tax and budget bill isn't shared sacrifice.
It makes poor people poorer and rich people richer. It does this by cutting health care & nutrition to help finance tax cuts skewed to the wealthy.
