7 Senate rules have slowed President Trump With a 52 seat majority in the Senate Republicans: Cannot bring most legislation to a vote on the Senate floor because of filibuster and amendment rules Generally requires 60 votes for Cloture Certain budget legislation cannot be filibustered Generally speaking, this legislation can not increase federal spending or increase deficits 7 FOR PRODUCER USE ONLY

16 What Is Next For ACA? Repeal and Replace - No near term viable path forward after 9/30 Bi-Partisan Fix For Cost Sharing Reductions - Possible, but difficult path forward Single Payer - No near term viable path forward but important to watch 16
17 Next ACA Battleground: Cost Sharing Reductions Two types of ACA financial assistance 1. Premium Subsidy - Available if you earn less than 400% of the FPL - Fully funded by ACA 2. Cost Sharing Reductions - Available if you earn less than 250% of the FPL - Reduce Deductible and OOP costs - Unclear if properly funded by ACA - House Lawsuit - President Trump must authorize month to month 17
18 ACA enrollment figures 10.3M 8.7 M 8.7M With financial assistance 5.9M With Premium Subsidy & CSR 2017 June Enrollment 1.6M Without financial assistance 2.8M With Premium Subsidy Only Enrollees With Assistance Source: Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services
19 Bi-Partisan Proposal Being Discussed Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pension (HELP) Committee - Fully fund CSRs for a period of time vs month to month - Stabilize insurer participation in the individual market - Provide more Section 1332 flexibility - Status: Was dead, but now possible (maybe) 19
20 Senator Sanders Single Payer Proposal - Create a single payer system run by Federal Government - Would end employer based coverage, Medicare, and Medicaid coverages, all combining into this new program - Eliminate of pocket costs EXCEPT for prescription drug costs - Plan s $1.4 Trillion cost paid for through: - 2.2% employee payroll tax - 6.2% employer payroll tax - Targeted tax increases on high income earners - Plan would be phased in over a 4 year period 20
21 Why Disrupt The Entire Market? Military health care 4% Uninsured 9% Medicare 13% Employment-based 48% Medicaid 19% Non-group 7% 21
22 Supporters of Senator Sanders Proposal Co-sponsors of the bill: Kamala Harris (D-CA) Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) Cory Booker (D-NJ) Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) Martin Heinrich (D-NM) Mazie Hirono (D-HI) Patrick Leahy (D-VT) Jeff Merkley (D-OR) Brian Schatz (D-HI) Tom Udall (D-NM) Co-sponsors of the bill: Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) Ed Markey (D-MA) Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) Al Franken (D-MN) Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) 22
23 Priorities Of The Trump Administration - Next Steps For ACA - Tax Reform 23
24 A Tough Choice For Republicans Option #1: 10 Year Tax Cut Ignore Revenue Neutrality - Reduce individual and corporate rates - Keep most deductions / exclusions in place - The Pitch: Economic growth will offset lower tax rates Option #2: Tax Reform Revenue Neutral - Reduce individual and corporate rates - Offset reduced revenue by eliminating certain tax deductions / exclusions - The Pitch: Fiscally prudent way to create a pro-growth economy 24
25 Highlights Of Unified Framework Individual Tax Rates Decrease - 7 Tax Brackets Move To 3 Tax Brackets - 12% / 25% / 35% - AMT Repealed - Standard Deduction Doubles - $12,000 Individuals / $24,000 Married - Eliminates Most Itemized Deductions - Mortgage Interest & Charitable Deduction will stay in place - Eliminates Estate & Generation Skipping Tax 25
26 Highlights Of Unified Framework Individual Tax Rate Questions - Where do the bracket splits? - How does this impact those in the 10% bracket today? - Which deductions go away? - State and local tax deduction? - What is the impact on Retirement Savings? - Is Rothification still on the table? - Do upper income earners benefit? - An additional top rate may apply. 26
27 Highlights Of Unified Framework Corporate Tax Rates Decrease - Top Tax Rate Falls To 20% - Pass Through / S-Corp Rate Top Rate 25% - Territorial Tax System & Deemed Repatriation - Pay taxes only in jurisdiction where revenue occurs - Earnings currently oversees are deemed brought back to US - 5 Year Window For Full Expensing - Buy a depreciable asset in the next 5 years, expense immediately - Examine industry specific tax breaks - Modernize to stop tax avoidance 27
28 Highlights Of Unified Framework Corporate Tax Questions - What is the deemed repatriation rate? - How long can companies spread out those costs? - Pay taxes only in jurisdiction where revenue occurs - Earnings currently oversees are deemed brought back to US - What tax exemptions / deductions are changing? - Does a 10 Year Corporate Tax cut really work? 28
29 Largest 10 Year Tax Expenditures #1. Exclusion For Employer Paid Health Premiums: $2.9 Trillion #2(Foreign Income) + #3(Net Imputed Rental)= $2.5 Trillion #4 Capital Gains: $1.1 Trillion #5 Defined Contribution Plans: $958 Billion #6 Mortgage Interest: $895 Billion #7 Local Tax Deductibility: $783 Billion #8 Defined Benefit Plans: $655 Billion 29
