When Ann Kuster (and the rest of New Hampshire’s All Gurl Congressional Delegation) voted against tax reform on purely ideological grounds (based on fake news and flawed data), they voted to continue a punishing regressive tax on low-income families.
Republicans included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act a provision reducing the Obamacare penalty for not purchasing “qualifying” health insurance to $0, beginning in January 2019. This move was particularly important for working-class families because IRS tax data show of the 6.6 million filers required to pay the Obamacare penalty in 2015, the most recent year for which data are available, 36 percent had an adjusted gross income of $10,000 to $25,000.
