For past decade ACA politics have been a stalemate: Rs couldn't repeal, Ds couldn't improve. Rescue Act breaks that stalemate-1st major improvement of ACA since enactment. If S Court upholds the law in coming weeks, a new era of ACA politics is upon us
@NeelDharwadkar@TylerEvilsizer @JStein_WaPo Agree it will have a bigger impact for lots of families, but it’s a less progressive policy bc higher earners benefit most. If you are a single parent w/ total income in 2020 of $20k in unemployment then after the standard deduction your benefit from this tax relief is very low.
