Here's a real problem to fix:
The bill doesn't remove the individual mandate. It revises the penalty to $0. This change is on page 83/84. It amends the Internal Revenue code 5000A and leaves the requirement for insurance in place. It remains in place because the federal penalty has been replaced with an insurance fine.Here's another real problem to fix:
However, this bill would make the situation even worse than Obamacare. Although Obamacare didn’t require photo ID and fingerprints to verify identity, it did harness the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database. Thus, officials were at least able to check immigration status against Social Security numbers. The problem with this bill is that because it tweaks Obamacare and creates a new massive entitlement system through the budget reconciliation process, it cannot have the statutory effect of mandating HHS and IRS work with Citizenship and Immigration Services to use the SAVE database because that issue is outside the jurisdiction of the reporting committees. And no subject matter from other committees can be included in reconciliation.Thus, to pass Obamacare 2.0 instead of plain repeal via budget reconciliation, Republicans must use weaker verification language.
Repeal the whole bill,and pass a clean & simple Bill for many years to come. We don’t want to keep all the bad provisions which we have to reform the bill every election year.
