I heard this expressed on Radio over the weekend.
Is it true that under Obamacare an older married couple could save upwards of $10,000 a year on health insurance if they would simply divorce, continue living together...
"...and take advantage of the government grants to help them, as individuals rather than a married couple, buy their health insurance."
What kind of sick government would force this kind of choice on married couples?
But then again, is it true? It wouldn't surprise me if it is, but...
Anyone have any comments or insight? I did find this:
The New Federal Wedding Tax: How Obamacare
Would Dramatically Penalize Marriage
Why does our government see the need to penalize/punish married couples? Didn't we manage to kill the marriage penalty? Why then is it back, seemingly slipped unawares into the healthcare bill? We know that not one of our senators or representatives read the entire bill before voting on it. So why shouldn't we expect occasional pockets of outright malicious evil to pop up throughout the dough of this horrid piece of legislation?
That the government would penalize the institution of marriage is deplorable.
