Republicans set to raise taxes on millions of Americans..

That should be the headline for Obamacare repeal. It's something everyone fears, whichever party.

I receive tax subsidies to pay for insurance premiums through the exchange. Everyone does up to the income limits. What you do with them is your choice. If I find a plan I can afford using 1/2 or 3/4 of my subsidy, the remainder of what I do not use is still there and gets applied to my return. The past two years, I did not use all my subsidy and received a credit on taxes I owed when I filed my return.

Tax subsidies = tax credits = tax cuts. Reduce or eliminate tax subsidies = raising taxes.

I have not heard or read anyone pointing this out (?)
