By removing the individual mandate, this "tax bill" has effectively killed the ACA. The entire concept behind the ACA was forcing people to sign up to it, lowing the costs for everyone. Removing the individual mandate will remove thirteen million people off of healthcare, and costs are going to sky rocket.
This is just insane. Taxes will be cut for the filthy rich and large corporations, the deficit will go up dramatically, healthcare will go up dramatically, and nearly all social services will be cut. Oh, and "maybe" the middle class will get a small tax cut which will be wiped out by our healthcare costs quadrupling.
