The proposed American Health Care Act (AHCA) would shift premium tax credits from an income-based calculation to an age-adjusted fixed amount. In the AHCA, individuals earning under $75,000, or $150,000 for a married couple, would receive between $2,000 to $4,000 a year, depending on age. For those earning above the income thresholds, the tax credit is reduced by 10 percent of the amount earned above the threshold.
