Crapo plan offers me annual assistance of $1500. ACA was giving me annual assistance of over TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The Senate Republican health care plan ends the enhanced ACA funds and instead gives eligible Americans $1,000 per year (<50 years) or $1,500 per year (50+) for an HSA. It also expands availability of bronze and catastrophic plans. Here’s what that would mean —> www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I've been saying this for decades--in my trademarked philippic against Running the Government Like a Business.
I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.
We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
