Colorado Health Policy Coalition Update:
"As I'm sure you've seen, the new tax package was passed today, including the provision to eliminate tax penalties for failure to comply with the individual mandate. Here is A Quick Guide to the GOP Tax Plan from Bloomberg News (Dec 18) and the Joint Explanatory Statement from the conference committee. For local analysis, here is an article from The Denver Post (Dec 20), which outlines the potential impact for Colorado.
A lot has been written about how repealing tax penalties of the individual mandate may impact the health care marketplace. Here are just a few perspectives:
The tax bill and the individual mandate: what happened and what does it mean, Timothy Jost, Health Affairs Blog, December 20
How the new U.S. tax plan will affect health care, David Blumenthal, Harvard Business Review, December 19
Repeal the Obamacare mandate, but do it smart, Newt Gingrich, The Hill, December 18
New tax reforms can open health insurance to innovation, John Sarich, The Hill, December 16
How the GOP tax bill will ruin Obamacare, J.B. Silvers, The New York Times, December 4
Also of note, after passage of the tax bill, Senators Susan Collins and Lamar Alexander announced today that efforts to pass "market stabilization" measures would not be taken up in 2017 - see coverage of this development in The Hill - but vowed to make it a priority for early January. It remains to be seen what, if any, other steps will be taken to further revise our federal health policy framework in 2018. "
