"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]C[/dropcap]ommuting on Bay Area ferries might not be quite the perfect experience it used to be. Mostly because, like other ways of getting to and from work in this booming region, you're going to find bigger crowds than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you look up from your iPhone or laptop once the boat's left the dock, you'll find yourself in direct contact with the always unfolding drama of San Francisco Bay -- the changing light, surging water and expansive vistas of bridges, skylines, shipping and, yes, even nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The people who experience this drama more often and more intimately than anyone else are those who work on the boats. To give the rest of us a glimpse of their world and how they see it, one group of workers is putting on a photo exhibition opening Friday at San Francisco's Pier 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.bluecollargreenwater.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Collar Green Water\u003c/a>\" show features juried work from deckhands, guest service reps, bartenders, captains and others who work for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blueandgoldfleet.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue & Gold Fleet\u003c/a>. That's the company that operates the \u003ca href=\"http://sanfranciscobayferry.com/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Bay Ferry\u003c/a> service under contract with the Water Emergency Transportation Authority. It's also known for its tourist cruises from San Francisco's Pier 41.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/05/BrekkeFerryService.mp3\" title=\"'Blue Collar Green Water': The Art of Working on S.F. Bay Ferries\" program=\"KQED News\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/1A-Vince-Forever-1920x1281.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rebecca Johnson, an Oakland native who's been a deckhand on the bay for 20 years, is the moving spirit behind \"Blue Collar Green Water.\" The idea was inspired by the pictures she saw other ferry workers taking every day on the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Working on the bay, you see it so many different ways,\" she says. \"You see it cold and foggy, you see it sunny and bright. And so I thought, why not find a way to share these photos with each other and with the people who don’t know what our jobs are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she suggested a group photo project to her fellow workers a couple of years ago, she found lots of excitement. Out of that, a collective was formed to invite submissions from Blue & Gold crew members, design a website and produce a promotional video. A panel that included local professional photographers was created to judge the submissions for the exhibit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Someone else really liked the \"Blue Collar Green Water\" idea, too: company management. Johnson brought her plan for a photo exhibition to Carolyn Horgan, then Blue & Gold's president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project allowed workers from the fleet's different units and unions to work together on something.

His state took federal money to expand Medicaid, but he’s called it a “welfare program” and said “\u003ca href=\"http://www.mediaite.com/online/gop-senator-republican-healthcare-plan-is-not-going-to-work-to-bring-down-premiums/\">able-bodied adults\u003c/a>” shouldn’t be on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After an angry town hall, he changed his tune, saying the House bill was “\u003ca href=\"https://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2017/04/18/tom-cottons-obamacare-repeal-dance\">moving too fast; I didn’t think it got it right\u003c/a>.” He also has indicated he’s against it in its current form because, “I simply think that it’s not going to work to bring down premiums for working Arkansans or working Americans around the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other senators, like Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Rob Portman of Ohio and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, are in favor of repeal, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.corker.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2017/1/senators-introduce-amendment-to-improve-process-for-repealing-and-replacing-health-care-law-in-timely-fashion\">want something “stable” \u003c/a>to replace it. They have indicated that affordability, coverage and rural access (like what the bill means for rural hospitals) are key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is going to allow amendments. That means the bill will change. And if even a comma is inserted, it has to pass the House — again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is inevitably going to bring back this whole game of whack-a-mole in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exhausted yet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wait, there’s more.

That allows legislation to pass with just a majority (plus one). But there’s a catch — it has to be tied to the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Get ready to hear a whole lot more about the \u003cstrong>“Byrd Rule.”\u003c/strong> What’s that? The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget \u003ca href=\"http://www.crfb.org/blogs/byrd-rule-and-its-effect-health-reform-short-guide\">explains it this way\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Although reconciliation bills are granted many privileges that are not available to most other legislation (see Reconciliation 101), they remain bound by several conditions. Some of these restrictions championed by former Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) and established in Section 313 of the Budget Act are jointly referred to as the ‘Byrd Rule.’ The Byrd Rule disallows “extraneous matter” from being included in a reconciliation bill, extraneous matter being defined in three major categories of restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First, reconciliation legislation must only involve budget-related changes and cannot include policies that have no fiscal impact, that have ‘merely incidental’ fiscal impacts, or that increase the deficit if the committee did not follow its reconciliation instructions (including proposals outside of a committee’s proper jurisdiction—more on this below). Second, reconciliation bills cannot change Social Security spending or dedicated revenue, which are considered ‘off-budget.’ And finally, provisions in a reconciliation bill cannot increase the deficit in any fiscal year after the window of the reconciliation bill (usually ten years in the future) unless the costs outside the budget window are offset by other savings in the bill.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The umpire of what qualifies under the Byrd Rule is the \u003cstrong>Senate parliamentarian\u003c/strong>. Her name is Elizabeth MacDonough. \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/senate-parliamentarian-elizabeth-macdonough-obamacare-114274\">Politico\u003c/a> wrote of her in 2015:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“[S]he may very well be the most powerful person in Washington in determining how far Republicans can go in trying to repeal Obamacare. As the Senate parliamentarian, MacDonough will make the decisions on which pieces of the law qualify to be repealed using a complicated budget procedure called reconciliation. Her decisions would allow Senate Republicans to vote to kill major provisions of the health care law under a simple 51-vote majority without giving Democrats a chance to filibuster.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>MacDonough was appointed in 2012, and even though she’s liked on Capitol Hill by both sides, past parliamentarians (\u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2012/02/new-parliamentarian-knows-her-way-around-072526\">known colloquially on the Hill as “parls”\u003c/a>) have come under fire because the majority party didn’t like how they ruled. \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/senate-parliamentarian-elizabeth-macdonough-obamacare-114274\">More from Politico\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Republicans protested decisions by then-parliamentarian Alan Frumin in the 2010 health care reform fight, when Democrats used the budget fast-track tool to pass a small part of the Affordable Care Act. In 2001, Republicans fired Robert Dove as parliamentarian after he ruled against them on how many reconciliation bills could be used. That was actually his second stint in the job: Democrats had fired Dove when they took the majority in 1987.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Reconciliation — and what fits and doesn’t fit into it — isn’t the GOP’s only complication. Their biggest one is the policy itself. It has a lot of shortcomings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonpartisan \u003cstrong>Congressional Budget Office\u003c/strong> said of the last iteration of the House bill that it would save money but would leave some 24 million without insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the GOP bill would be less generous in terms of benefits and cover fewer. And the only reason it would save money is because the repeal bill would \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-obamacare-promises-236021\">cut $880 billion from Medicaid\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would break Trump’s promises of “insurance for everybody” and “no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CBO won’t get out an analysis of the bill before Republicans are planning to vote. Politically, that gives them a chance to wipe their brows and not have to defend something that could be difficult to defend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s morally questionable, though, to vote on something without knowing its cost or consequences. And what happens when the CBO score does come out — and they’ve already voted for it without the opportunity to make changes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s the issue of the popular \u003cstrong>pre-existing conditions\u003c/strong> provision in Obamacare — that requires insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump claimed as late as this week that this bill would guarantee people with pre-existing conditions would continue to be covered. But Republicans’ attempts at doing that are very different from how Obamacare achieves it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GOP plan would essentially allow states to take sicker people out of the broader pool of people buying coverage and put them into a “high-risk pool.” That, in theory, would bring down the cost of insurance for healthier people, but drive up the cost for the sick. Depending upon how much costs increase, that could shut some or many of the people who definitely need health care out of the insurance market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-risk pools \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/02/03/513311344/republicans-consider-restoring-high-risk-pools-in-obamacare-replacement\">haven’t shown great results\u003c/a> where they have been currently implemented. Part of the problem has been funding. That’s why Trump picked up two more votes with a proposal for $8 billion more for those pools, but experts say that’s not even likely enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”eunRwEXPkmqidH6LoEqaj64hk4ZeBZMv”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. government already has very high-profile high-risk pools, Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare, health care for the elderly, is popular but expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big point of Obamacare was to not go down that potentially problematic funding lane. Healthier people might pay a little more, but if you got sick, it wouldn’t bankrupt you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why the rush to get this through if it has all these holes and it may not be what eventually becomes law anyway? Politics. The House finally has a chance to tell its base it did something, it passed \u003cem>something\u003c/em> to repeal and replace Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House goes on recess next week, and Republicans want to get this done and hand Trump a win before then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a huge relief for House Speaker Paul Ryan, who was feeling the heat of not being able to govern House Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a huge relief for Trump, who has been made to look ineffectual with no legislative wins to speak of in his first 100 days and little other major accomplishments in that time — despite Republicans being in charge of the White House, the House and Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But remember, the GOP plan that failed previously had just a \u003ca href=\"https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2443\">17 percent approval rating\u003c/a>. And, policywise, it hasn’t changed all that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Obama ran into a similar problem — health care is very difficult to message about but very easy to poke holes in. And Democrats lost control of the House in 2010 because of health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature legislative achievement, has had a resurgence in public opinion. Gallup found approval of the ACA at 55 percent this month, the first time it’s ever reached a majority in the poll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/858659215451271168\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump says the GOP bill can’t be compared to the ACA “because Obamacare is dead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First of all, that’s not true. The last CBO analysis of the ACA said it’s not in a death spiral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, anything that comes after Obamacare has to be compared to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s that you say, health care \u003cem>and\u003c/em> legislating are complicated?

If they lose three votes, the bill goes down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas has been doing a delicate dance on Medicaid expansion. His state took federal money to expand Medicaid, but he’s called it a “welfare program” and said “\u003ca href=\"http://www.mediaite.com/online/gop-senator-republican-healthcare-plan-is-not-going-to-work-to-bring-down-premiums/\">able-bodied adults\u003c/a>” shouldn’t be on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After an angry town hall, he changed his tune, saying the House bill was “\u003ca href=\"https://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2017/04/18/tom-cottons-obamacare-repeal-dance\">moving too fast; I didn’t think it got it right\u003c/a>.” He also has indicated he’s against it in its current form because, “I simply think that it’s not going to work to bring down premiums for working Arkansans or working Americans around the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other senators, like Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Rob Portman of Ohio and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, are in favor of repeal, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.corker.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2017/1/senators-introduce-amendment-to-improve-process-for-repealing-and-replacing-health-care-law-in-timely-fashion\">want something “stable” \u003c/a>to replace it. They have indicated that affordability, coverage and rural access (like what the bill means for rural hospitals) are key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is going to allow amendments. That means the bill will change. And if even a comma is inserted, it has to pass the House — again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is inevitably going to bring back this whole game of whack-a-mole in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exhausted yet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wait, there’s more. Because Democrats aren’t going to sign onto something that guts the coverage mandates of the Affordable Care Act, Republicans can’t get 60 votes to advance the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in order to pass it, they’re going to have to use the process known as \u003cstrong>reconciliation\u003c/strong>. That allows legislation to pass with just a majority (plus one). But there’s a catch — it has to be tied to the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Get ready to hear a whole lot more about the \u003cstrong>“Byrd Rule.”\u003c/strong> What’s that? The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget \u003ca href=\"http://www.crfb.org/blogs/byrd-rule-and-its-effect-health-reform-short-guide\">explains it this way\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Although reconciliation bills are granted many privileges that are not available to most other legislation (see Reconciliation 101), they remain bound by several conditions. Some of these restrictions championed by former Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) and established in Section 313 of the Budget Act are jointly referred to as the ‘Byrd Rule.’ The Byrd Rule disallows “extraneous matter” from being included in a reconciliation bill, extraneous matter being defined in three major categories of restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First, reconciliation legislation must only involve budget-related changes and cannot include policies that have no fiscal impact, that have ‘merely incidental’ fiscal impacts, or that increase the deficit if the committee did not follow its reconciliation instructions (including proposals outside of a committee’s proper jurisdiction—more on this below). Second, reconciliation bills cannot change Social Security spending or dedicated revenue, which are considered ‘off-budget.’ And finally, provisions in a reconciliation bill cannot increase the deficit in any fiscal year after the window of the reconciliation bill (usually ten years in the future) unless the costs outside the budget window are offset by other savings in the bill.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The umpire of what qualifies under the Byrd Rule is the \u003cstrong>Senate parliamentarian\u003c/strong>. Her name is Elizabeth MacDonough. \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/senate-parliamentarian-elizabeth-macdonough-obamacare-114274\">Politico\u003c/a> wrote of her in 2015:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“[S]he may very well be the most powerful person in Washington in determining how far Republicans can go in trying to repeal Obamacare. As the Senate parliamentarian, MacDonough will make the decisions on which pieces of the law qualify to be repealed using a complicated budget procedure called reconciliation. Her decisions would allow Senate Republicans to vote to kill major provisions of the health care law under a simple 51-vote majority without giving Democrats a chance to filibuster.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>MacDonough was appointed in 2012, and even though she’s liked on Capitol Hill by both sides, past parliamentarians (\u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2012/02/new-parliamentarian-knows-her-way-around-072526\">known colloquially on the Hill as “parls”\u003c/a>) have come under fire because the majority party didn’t like how they ruled. \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/senate-parliamentarian-elizabeth-macdonough-obamacare-114274\">More from Politico\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Republicans protested decisions by then-parliamentarian Alan Frumin in the 2010 health care reform fight, when Democrats used the budget fast-track tool to pass a small part of the Affordable Care Act. In 2001, Republicans fired Robert Dove as parliamentarian after he ruled against them on how many reconciliation bills could be used. That was actually his second stint in the job: Democrats had fired Dove when they took the majority in 1987.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Reconciliation — and what fits and doesn’t fit into it — isn’t the GOP’s only complication. Their biggest one is the policy itself. It has a lot of shortcomings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonpartisan \u003cstrong>Congressional Budget Office\u003c/strong> said of the last iteration of the House bill that it would save money but would leave some 24 million without insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the GOP bill would be less generous in terms of benefits and cover fewer. And the only reason it would save money is because the repeal bill would \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-obamacare-promises-236021\">cut $880 billion from Medicaid\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would break Trump’s promises of “insurance for everybody” and “no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CBO won’t get out an analysis of the bill before Republicans are planning to vote. Politically, that gives them a chance to wipe their brows and not have to defend something that could be difficult to defend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s morally questionable, though, to vote on something without knowing its cost or consequences. And what happens when the CBO score does come out — and they’ve already voted for it without the opportunity to make changes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s the issue of the popular \u003cstrong>pre-existing conditions\u003c/strong> provision in Obamacare — that requires insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump claimed as late as this week that this bill would guarantee people with pre-existing conditions would continue to be covered. But Republicans’ attempts at doing that are very different from how Obamacare achieves it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GOP plan would essentially allow states to take sicker people out of the broader pool of people buying coverage and put them into a “high-risk pool.” That, in theory, would bring down the cost of insurance for healthier people, but drive up the cost for the sick. Depending upon how much costs increase, that could shut some or many of the people who definitely need health care out of the insurance market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-risk pools \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/02/03/513311344/republicans-consider-restoring-high-risk-pools-in-obamacare-replacement\">haven’t shown great results\u003c/a> where they have been currently implemented. Part of the problem has been funding. That’s why Trump picked up two more votes with a proposal for $8 billion more for those pools, but experts say that’s not even likely enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. government already has very high-profile high-risk pools, Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare, health care for the elderly, is popular but expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big point of Obamacare was to not go down that potentially problematic funding lane. Healthier people might pay a little more, but if you got sick, it wouldn’t bankrupt you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why the rush to get this through if it has all these holes and it may not be what eventually becomes law anyway? Politics. The House finally has a chance to tell its base it did something, it passed \u003cem>something\u003c/em> to repeal and replace Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House goes on recess next week, and Republicans want to get this done and hand Trump a win before then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a huge relief for House Speaker Paul Ryan, who was feeling the heat of not being able to govern House Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a huge relief for Trump, who has been made to look ineffectual with no legislative wins to speak of in his first 100 days and little other major accomplishments in that time — despite Republicans being in charge of the White House, the House and Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But remember, the GOP plan that failed previously had just a \u003ca href=\"https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2443\">17 percent approval rating\u003c/a>. And, policywise, it hasn’t changed all that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Obama ran into a similar problem — health care is very difficult to message about but very easy to poke holes in. And Democrats lost control of the House in 2010 because of health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature legislative achievement, has had a resurgence in public opinion. Gallup found approval of the ACA at 55 percent this month, the first time it’s ever reached a majority in the poll.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Could a few words buried within a recent court ruling make it easier for the state to raise money from Californians?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The words -- contained within a decision \u003ca href=\"http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/documents/C075930.PDF\">affirming\u003c/a> the constitutionality of California’s policy of charging polluters -- are causing a stir among some state budget experts, who wonder if the ruling could be used to pry loose constitutional constraints that have long restricted lawmakers’ ability to increase taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its 2-1 ruling, California’s 3rd District Court of Appeal declared that the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/133691850\">cap-and-trade\u003c/a> climate program is neither a tax nor a fee -- the two categories into which state jurists have traditionally slotted all revenue raisers -- but falls into a mysterious \u003cem>none of the above\u003c/em> category.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such semantic distinctions matter in California because the state constitution puts tight restrictions on lawmakers' ability to raise money from taxpayers. Voters in 1978 passed the most famous of these restrictions, property-tax-cutting \u003ca href=\"https://www.hjta.org/propositions/proposition-13/original-proposition-13/\">Proposition 13\u003c/a>, which also lifted the legislative threshold for new state and local tax hikes from a simple majority to a two-thirds “supermajority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit, filed by the California Chamber of Commerce and other business groups, contended that when the Legislature created the cap-and-trade program in 2006, it introduced a new tax with only a simple majority vote -- violating the two-thirds vote requirements of Proposition 13. (Since then, the auctions have generated $4.4 billion for the state.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"iLj5jUbECqekfaKH9rqV3bc5RjwlKX2Q\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what is a tax? In explaining its decision, the court offered a new, narrower definition of the word: “A tax has two hallmarks: (1) it is compulsory, and (2) it does not grant any special benefit to the payor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Tony Francois from the Pacific Legal Foundation, which represents one of the plaintiffs in the case, that definition leaves out many of the levies that most Californians would be surprised to learn aren’t “taxes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under (the court’s) analysis, any transaction-based tax, such as the sales tax or the gasoline tax, is voluntary instead of compulsory,” he says. “Anyone can choose whether to drive their own car and buy gas for it or not. And, all of these transaction taxes provide something of value to the payer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seemingly anticipating that broad interpretation, the court’s majority opinion insisted there was an obvious distinction between a payment made for a thing of value (in this case, an allowance for emitting greenhouse gases) and a sales tax, which one pays “but receives nothing of particular value for the tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some conservatives find that distinction too blurry for comfort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the Legislature has to do is say, ‘We’re not taxing the purchase of the commodity, we’re just selling you the right to purchase the commodity,’ ” says Mike Genest, who directed the Department of Finance under Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and is the founding partner at Capitol Matrix Consulting. “If you take that logic and apply it liberally, you could probably apply it to any tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10845734\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10845734\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-800x518.jpg\" alt=\"A customer prepares to pump gas into his truck at a Valero gas station in Mill Valley.\" width=\"800\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-800x518.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-400x259.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-768x497.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-1440x932.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-1180x763.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-960x621.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A customer prepares to pump gas into his truck at a Valero gas station in Mill Valley. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The court has “invalidated the Proposition 13 two-thirds requirement,” he says.

Voters in 1978 passed the most famous of these restrictions, property-tax-cutting \u003ca href=\"https://www.hjta.org/propositions/proposition-13/original-proposition-13/\">Proposition 13\u003c/a>, which also lifted the legislative threshold for new state and local tax hikes from a simple majority to a two-thirds “supermajority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit, filed by the California Chamber of Commerce and other business groups, contended that when the Legislature created the cap-and-trade program in 2006, it introduced a new tax with only a simple majority vote -- violating the two-thirds vote requirements of Proposition 13. (Since then, the auctions have generated $4.4 billion for the state.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In explaining its decision, the court offered a new, narrower definition of the word: “A tax has two hallmarks: (1) it is compulsory, and (2) it does not grant any special benefit to the payor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Tony Francois from the Pacific Legal Foundation, which represents one of the plaintiffs in the case, that definition leaves out many of the levies that most Californians would be surprised to learn aren’t “taxes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under (the court’s) analysis, any transaction-based tax, such as the sales tax or the gasoline tax, is voluntary instead of compulsory,” he says. “Anyone can choose whether to drive their own car and buy gas for it or not. And, all of these transaction taxes provide something of value to the payer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seemingly anticipating that broad interpretation, the court’s majority opinion insisted there was an obvious distinction between a payment made for a thing of value (in this case, an allowance for emitting greenhouse gases) and a sales tax, which one pays “but receives nothing of particular value for the tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some conservatives find that distinction too blurry for comfort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the Legislature has to do is say, ‘We’re not taxing the purchase of the commodity, we’re just selling you the right to purchase the commodity,’ ” says Mike Genest, who directed the Department of Finance under Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and is the founding partner at Capitol Matrix Consulting. “If you take that logic and apply it liberally, you could probably apply it to any tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10845734\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10845734\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-800x518.jpg\" alt=\"A customer prepares to pump gas into his truck at a Valero gas station in Mill Valley.\" width=\"800\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-800x518.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-400x259.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-768x497.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-1440x932.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-1180x763.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/PumpingGas-960x621.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A customer prepares to pump gas into his truck at a Valero gas station in Mill Valley. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The court has “invalidated the Proposition 13 two-thirds requirement,” he says.

By separating out those who have expensive medical conditions, the remaining customers for individual insurance could buy stripped-down policies with fewer benefits at a lower price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several states have \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/health-reform/issue-brief/high-risk-pools-for-uninsurable-individuals/\">tried high-risk pools\u003c/a> in the past, but they were typically underfunded, leaving millions of people with \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/02/18/514991567/gop-leaders-urge-return-to-high-risk-insurance-pools-that-critics-call-costly\">no access\u003c/a> to adequate health care. Lawmakers hope that by putting the heft and money of the federal government behind them, they may work better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government is already in the business. It pays for the health care of more than 40 percent of the population, through Medicare, Medicaid, the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2016/demo/p60-257.pdf\">the Census Bureau\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicare is essentially a giant high-risk pool. The program, which pays for health care for people over 65, was created in 1965 because that population couldn't get affordable private health insurance precisely because their health costs were too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year the federal government spent about \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/medicare/issue-brief/the-facts-on-medicare-spending-and-financing/\">$591 billion\u003c/a> on Medicare, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicaid, which covers the poor or disabled, is essentially another high-risk pool, paid for with about \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/medicaid/state-indicator/total-medicaid-spending/?currentTimeframe=0&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D\">$550 billion\u003c/a> in tax money in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there's the Veterans Health Administration, which pays for the care of many people who have served in the military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covering the people that commercial insurance left behind was also the goal of the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law was designed to ensure that people in the individual insurance market who have pre-existing medical conditions, who were often shut out of traditional insurance plans, could get coverage. Obamacare tries to achieve that goal by requiring everyone, sick and healthy, to buy insurance so that the cost is spread among a broad population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"41Q8pQzXUUg9qptEWcmD4yIbg1Xgi2Ju\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That led to higher premiums for many people who are young and healthy because they subsidize those who are sicker and older, and also because they have to buy insurance with a generous menu of benefits mandated by the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican plan aims to cut those premiums by getting rid of Obamacare rules requiring that policies offer a broad menu of benefits, including prescription coverage and maternity care; limit how much more companies can charge older people; and require insurers to charge the same price for people with existing medical conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many Republican members of Congress, including Upton, aren't willing to see those with more medical needs shut out of the system once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're talking about some way to finance a social goal that was established by the Affordable Care Act,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/scholar/joseph-antos/\">Joe Antos\u003c/a>, a resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. \"I don't think Republicans want to go back on that. They agree that we've turned that corner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antos says the big difference between what's being contemplated by the House Republicans this week and Medicare or other government health programs is that high-risk pools or subsidies would very likely still be run through private health insurers, which have incentives to save money and be efficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zack Cooper, a professor of health policy and economics at Yale, agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Once you've decided to cover everybody, you're sort of arguing over where the money comes from,\" he says. \"The ACA makes me subsidize you. The high-risk pools are simply doing that through taxation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far the House GOP bill doesn't require states to create high-risk pools, but some of the money is allocated specifically to that purpose. Such pools could be separate state-run insurance programs similar to traditional Medicare or Medicaid, or \"invisible\" systems where individuals buy their insurance on the regular market but the government pays the expenses of the people deemed high risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maine has an \u003ca href=\"http://healthaffairs.org/blog/2017/03/02/invisible-high-risk-pools-how-congress-can-lower-premiums-and-deal-with-pre-existing-conditions/\">invisible risk pool\u003c/a> where insurance companies have to turn over to the state 90 percent of the premium paid by anyone the company deems high risk. That prevents companies from abusing the high-risk status, Antos says, because insurers would be forgoing income from patients who don't have high medical costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Maine established its high-risk pool, premiums for people in their 20s fell an average $5,000 a year, and people in their 60s saw their costs decline by about $7,000. At the same time, enrollment in private insurance rose, according to a study in \u003cem>Health Affairs\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican bill doesn't mandate a Maine-like system. And the flexibility in the bill, combined with limits on the money available, could be a problem, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.urban.org/author/linda-j-blumberg\">Linda Blumberg\u003c/a>, a senior fellow at the left-leaning Urban Institute. Especially since the pot of money is limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to provide X dollars, then we'll let the states figure out what benefits they can get for these people for the money that we're providing,\" Blumberg says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emily Gee, a health economist at the Democrat-allied Center for American Progress, says the Republican proposal needs about \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/healthcare/news/2017/05/03/431827/upton-amendment-aca-repeal-bill-will-almost-no-effect/\">$20 billion more per year\u003c/a> to adequately pay the costs of high-risk patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that's a real risk, says Yale's Cooper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government has a track record of creating programs to help the needy but not funding them adequately to ensure that they offer quality services, he says. It's a common complaint about Medicaid, where lawmakers frequently point out that it doesn't pay doctors enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is trying to get people off the books,\" Cooper says. \"The fear is once you get them off the books, you forget about them.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The cash would very likely go to \"high-risk pools,\" which pay the expenses of the very sick so that insurance companies don't have to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AHCA is the latest in a long line of attempts to transform the health care system. Those that have passed include Medicare, then Medicaid, and then Obamacare. Now we move to Trumpcare, or whatever it eventually is labeled, which seems to be turning into another big federal program to pay the bills for people with expensive illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

By separating out those who have expensive medical conditions, the remaining customers for individual insurance could buy stripped-down policies with fewer benefits at a lower price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several states have \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/health-reform/issue-brief/high-risk-pools-for-uninsurable-individuals/\">tried high-risk pools\u003c/a> in the past, but they were typically underfunded, leaving millions of people with \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/02/18/514991567/gop-leaders-urge-return-to-high-risk-insurance-pools-that-critics-call-costly\">no access\u003c/a> to adequate health care. Lawmakers hope that by putting the heft and money of the federal government behind them, they may work better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government is already in the business. It pays for the health care of more than 40 percent of the population, through Medicare, Medicaid, the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2016/demo/p60-257.pdf\">the Census Bureau\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicare is essentially a giant high-risk pool. The program, which pays for health care for people over 65, was created in 1965 because that population couldn't get affordable private health insurance precisely because their health costs were too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year the federal government spent about \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/medicare/issue-brief/the-facts-on-medicare-spending-and-financing/\">$591 billion\u003c/a> on Medicare, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicaid, which covers the poor or disabled, is essentially another high-risk pool, paid for with about \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/medicaid/state-indicator/total-medicaid-spending/?currentTimeframe=0&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D\">$550 billion\u003c/a> in tax money in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there's the Veterans Health Administration, which pays for the care of many people who have served in the military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covering the people that commercial insurance left behind was also the goal of the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law was designed to ensure that people in the individual insurance market who have pre-existing medical conditions, who were often shut out of traditional insurance plans, could get coverage. Obamacare tries to achieve that goal by requiring everyone, sick and healthy, to buy insurance so that the cost is spread among a broad population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That led to higher premiums for many people who are young and healthy because they subsidize those who are sicker and older, and also because they have to buy insurance with a generous menu of benefits mandated by the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican plan aims to cut those premiums by getting rid of Obamacare rules requiring that policies offer a broad menu of benefits, including prescription coverage and maternity care; limit how much more companies can charge older people; and require insurers to charge the same price for people with existing medical conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many Republican members of Congress, including Upton, aren't willing to see those with more medical needs shut out of the system once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're talking about some way to finance a social goal that was established by the Affordable Care Act,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/scholar/joseph-antos/\">Joe Antos\u003c/a>, a resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. \"I don't think Republicans want to go back on that. They agree that we've turned that corner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antos says the big difference between what's being contemplated by the House Republicans this week and Medicare or other government health programs is that high-risk pools or subsidies would very likely still be run through private health insurers, which have incentives to save money and be efficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zack Cooper, a professor of health policy and economics at Yale, agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Once you've decided to cover everybody, you're sort of arguing over where the money comes from,\" he says. \"The ACA makes me subsidize you. The high-risk pools are simply doing that through taxation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far the House GOP bill doesn't require states to create high-risk pools, but some of the money is allocated specifically to that purpose. Such pools could be separate state-run insurance programs similar to traditional Medicare or Medicaid, or \"invisible\" systems where individuals buy their insurance on the regular market but the government pays the expenses of the people deemed high risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maine has an \u003ca href=\"http://healthaffairs.org/blog/2017/03/02/invisible-high-risk-pools-how-congress-can-lower-premiums-and-deal-with-pre-existing-conditions/\">invisible risk pool\u003c/a> where insurance companies have to turn over to the state 90 percent of the premium paid by anyone the company deems high risk. That prevents companies from abusing the high-risk status, Antos says, because insurers would be forgoing income from patients who don't have high medical costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Maine established its high-risk pool, premiums for people in their 20s fell an average $5,000 a year, and people in their 60s saw their costs decline by about $7,000. At the same time, enrollment in private insurance rose, according to a study in \u003cem>Health Affairs\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican bill doesn't mandate a Maine-like system. And the flexibility in the bill, combined with limits on the money available, could be a problem, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.urban.org/author/linda-j-blumberg\">Linda Blumberg\u003c/a>, a senior fellow at the left-leaning Urban Institute. Especially since the pot of money is limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to provide X dollars, then we'll let the states figure out what benefits they can get for these people for the money that we're providing,\" Blumberg says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emily Gee, a health economist at the Democrat-allied Center for American Progress, says the Republican proposal needs about \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/healthcare/news/2017/05/03/431827/upton-amendment-aca-repeal-bill-will-almost-no-effect/\">$20 billion more per year\u003c/a> to adequately pay the costs of high-risk patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that's a real risk, says Yale's Cooper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government has a track record of creating programs to help the needy but not funding them adequately to ensure that they offer quality services, he says. It's a common complaint about Medicaid, where lawmakers frequently point out that it doesn't pay doctors enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
