The Senate’s version of the GOP health care bill would reduce the amount the federal government provides in tax credits to help people buy health insurance by $424 billion over the next decade, according to the Congressio­nal Budget Office’s report Monday.

What do these reductions mean in practical terms for Colorado?

For a 40-year-old making $50,000 a year, a midlevel “silver” plan on the state’s insurance exchange would cost:

• $1,930 more per year in Mesa County.

• $0 more per year in Denver.

• $910 more per year in Yuma County.

For a 60-year-old making $30,000 a year, the same level plan would cost:

• $3,230 more per year in Mesa County.

• $2,710 more per year in Denver.

• $2,820 more per year in Yuma County.

For a 27-year-old making $20,000 a year, the same level plan would cost:

• $700 more per year in Mesa County

• $550 more per year in Denver.

• $580 more per year in Yuma County.
