A little disturbing.

A tax credit? So lemme get this straight. People are being taxed up the ass and some can't afford to pay their taxes and they want to force these same people to have to spend more or be penalized?

What am I missing?
An individual who couldn't afford the coverage would get an offset credit, so no, the same people who couldn't afford it wouldn't be asked to pay more...assuming of course the credit actually covers the entire cost of a plan.

A lot of this would ultimately be funded by those who could afford it, through higher taxes on higher income earners.
