Due to the down economy, my wife and I are two of the 30 million uninsured, that the ACA is suppose to help. Well, I just ran the numbers.
014 annual household income: 161% of poverty level
Number of tobacco users in your household: 1
Your estimated 2014 total premium costs before the tax credit: $15,089
$3,762 of which is due to a tobacco surcharge
Your estimated tax credit:
$10,199
(which covers 68% of the overall premium)
Your estimated 2014 total premium costs including the tax credit:
$4,891 per year
(which equals 19.56% of your household income and covers 32% of the overall premium)
Not only is this for a Silver plan, with massive deductables, but the estimated tax credit is a hoax. The credit is against tax liability, not a rebate like the EIC. My tax liability this year was $1,400, so if my income remains that same, after shelling out $15,089 in premiums for a year, I would receive a tax credit of $1,400 on my 2014 tax return. This means the premiums alone would actually cost me $13,689, about half my income. If I actually need medical attention, I will have the additional expense of the large deductible, and then 30% of all charges after that.
This is affordable? What a joke. Thank you libtards and obamatrons for re-electing this empty suit.
If the Republicans where smart, they'd have allowed the ACA to go through. After folks found out the truth about this, and ended up paying through the nose for health care, a Democrat couldn't get elected to dog catcher in 2016.
