Writing fiction, there are no limits to what you write as long as it increases the value of the paper you are writing on.
The lower income individuals, under any Republican proposal, at least that I have seen, are real losers in the framework because there is not enough subsidy, not enough assistance, for them to realistically participate in the market.
