13% of AGI AFFORDABLE??????? She’s off her f**k’n rocker!

Furthermore, this is a state-by-state trigger.

Plus the insurers get a “mulligan”…if they don’t meet the criteria, they get a chance to go back and create some sort of high deductable, high co-pay low-benefit “clunker” plan that does fit the limits.

It’s a right and the government’s purpose is to secure that right.

Beginning in 2013, tax credits would be available on a sliding scale basis for individuals and families between 134-300 percent of FPL to help offset the cost of private health insurance premiums. Beginning in 2014, the credits are also available to individuals and families between 100-133 percent of FPL. However, individuals subject to a five-year waiting period under Medicaid or CHIP are eligible for the tax credit beginning in 2013. The credits would be based on the percentage of income the cost of premiums represents, rising from three percent of income for those at 100 percent of poverty to 13 percent of income for those at 300 percent of poverty. Individuals between 300-400 percent of FPL would be eligible for a premium credit based on capping an individual‘s share of the premium at a flat 13 percent of income. For purposes of calculating household size, illegal immigrants will not be included in FPL. Liability for premiums would be capped at 13 percent of income for the purchase of a silver plan. The share of premium enrollees pay would be held constant over time.

“No one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.”

~ John Locke

That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.

~Virginia Declaration of Rights adopted unanimously by the Virginia Convention of Delegates on June 12, 1776 and written by George Mason, is:

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

~The United States Declaration of Independence

Thus the pursuit of the means to live a life without illness or suffering is an inherent right endowed by the Creator. States exist to further the pursuit of those objectives…not to impede them.
