> Your last sentence indicates you know the truth about the statement your penultimate sentence makes. Which might be better stated as "Which means you earn enough to pay for healthcare according to this dog's breakfast known as the Affordable Care Act", which following our version of Newspeak for the naming of political bills tells us it's unlikely to be always, or maybe generally affordable.
You cut off my actual last sentence in the paragraph, which compared it to underwithholding on income taxes. This is what I keep bringing up, and you keep ignoring. This is not so different from income taxes.
Someone who earns 400% of poverty level owes $5000 in federal income tax, plus maybe another $5000 in local property tax and possibly state income tax. They might want to pay that $10000+ towards their mortgage, rather than to the government.
Since you're clearly very concerned about the financial burdens imposed on those less fortunate among us, I hope you'll support eliminating all taxes on those earning 400% or less of poverty level. We can make up for it by taxing the rich more heavily. What do you say?
Or perhaps we should do the same for health insurance. Single-payer system, paid for by progressive taxation.
