About age-based tax credits

---

 America First Healthcare Reform presents a practical, market-based approach to making health insurance more affordable for Americans who receive little or no help under the current system. The book proposes Age-Based Tax Credits, a voluntary alternative that would give individuals a predictable federal tax credit based primarily on age, allowing them to use that assistance to purchase qualified private health coverage that best fits their needs. Rather than eliminating employer coverage, Medicare, Medicaid, or the Affordable Care Act, the proposal is designed to work alongside the existing system and give people another choice—particularly middle-class families, self-employed workers, small-business owners, and early retirees who are often hit hardest by rising premiums. The central idea is simple: redirect healthcare assistance toward the individual, make the amount transparent and predictable, encourage competition among insurers, and give Americans greater control over how their healthcare dollars are spent
