SectionC3 Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago Just now, JDHillFan said: Sounds like you are in support of providing healthcare subsidies to families with an income of up to $600,000. Seems a little at odds with the normal tax whining you do but that’s part of your schtick. Better than free money on that 2.6pc cut to earners over 626k that you lap up, Anus Man.

Thank you for going on record as supporting healthcare subsidies for those families with annual incomes up to $600,000. This situation is clearly not a tax giveaway to the rich apparently.

The party is an embarrassment. The largest government employee union seems to agree. https://www.cato.org/blog/end-obamacares-welfare-wealthy-covid-credits As Paragon Health Institute scholar Brian Blase points out, a family of five with a 60-year-old household head in Prescott, Arizona, for example, can make $500,000 per year but still qualify for an $8,423 subsidy, and their eligibility would not fully phase out until their income exceeds $599,000. Similarly, a married couple in West Virginia making $580,000 and a single individual in Vermont making $180,000 could both qualify for subsidies. Something about tax giveaways to the rich. Sigh. That’s far from an impactful “giveaway” though because the plans on the marketplace completely suck everyone gets some subsidy but at an income like that they only qualify for qualified health plans not essential plans. The person you are describing is looking at a “bronze” plan, with a monthly premium well over $1,000 that doesn’t pay anything pre-deductible. And the deductible like $5,000 per person LOL so the person you are describing likely doesn’t really exist, as someone with that income would say “why bother” with such a ridiculous health option the problem is that ridiculous health option, is the same option for people who aren’t wealthy. In this country you have to be really rich or really poor or you are SOL 1

Hopefully there are six more Democrat senators that agree. 1 1
