Unfortunately, it won't be from what I understand. The biggest crux of the bill is that it switches the subsidy to a tax credit. Even if the amount was the same, dollar for dollar (which I don't think it will be) this still makes health insurance unaffordable for lower income folks as they won't have the cash in hand to pay the premiums and then get tax credits for it.
