Republican candidate Scott Walker proposes health plan with tax credits

Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker’s has explained his plan for replacing Obama’s health care law. It would involve restructuring Medicaid, extending refundable tax credits to pay for private health insurance based on age instead of income, allowing people to purchase insurance across state lines, and deregulating the long-term care insurance market. The plan would be paid for by eliminating $1 trillion in taxes and by making other changes to Medicaid and health insurance taxing. Walker and other Republican presidential candidates have expressed their intention to repeal Obama’s Affordable Care Act, but the 60 votes in senate required for this may be a obstacle.
