The Republican tax plans are suddenly looking a lot more like healthcare bills, with provisions that may affect coverage and increase medical expenses for millions of families.
The Senate plan for the tax bill would repeal the Obamacare requirement that most Americans carry insurance, a move that insurers promise would raise premiums in the nationwide individual insurance market. The House version of the tax bill, which President Donald Trump endorsed on Tuesday, would end a deduction that enables families of disabled children and elderly people to write off large medical expenses.
