« Seattle Tacoma Paper Refuses To Run Obama's White House Propaganda | Main | New York Times: Redistribution of Wealth Is Central to Obamacare, And That Was "Hiding in Plain Sight" All Along »

Another Obamacare Broken Promise

Oh, now you tell us. Oversold, underdelivered:

Back in April, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a congressional subcommittee that any individual making under that $45,960 threshold -- or four times the poverty level of $11,490 for an individual -- would qualify for "an upfront tax subsidy." "Somebody who's making $25,500 would definitely qualify for a subsidy if he or she is purchasing coverage in the individual market," Sebelius added.

Despite the secretary's assurance, a 25-year-old living in Nashville, Tennessee, making $25,500 will not qualify for a subsidy, for example.


Gosh, it turns out that this thing is really quite complicated.

Oh, and check out the New Republic's Franklin Foer freaking out about Obamacare destroying the idea of expansive government programs.
