Conservatives Object to Obamacare Replacement's Tax Credits

  • Refundable tax credit would help people buy insurance coverage
  • Debate underscores difficulty in agreeing on a new plan

Some conservative House Republicans are objecting to a major part of the Obamacare replacement outline presented to them by party leaders, underscoring the party’s continuing inability to agree on an alternative health plan.

The proposal would allow Americans who lack insurance to buy coverage with refundable tax credits they can receive before the end of a tax year. House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady said he and other leaders presented the idea during Thursday’s private conference of the House GOP.
