Professionals, Skilled Workers To Fund Obamacare's Subsidies
The Obamacare network artificially raises healthcare payments for single, middle-income young professionals and skilled workers, according to a detailed analysis by the 2017 Project, a think-tank seeking to create a conservative reform agenda.
The raised payments are used to subsidize cheap health-insurance for older and poorer people, says the group’s analysis.
A 26 year-old unmarried person with an income of just $35,000 would have to pay $1,863 a year for the cheapest insurance policy on President Barack Obama’s website. That person wold get no subsidy from other taxpayers, even though the insurance premiums, co-pays and deductibles are much higher than those offered by pre-Obamacare polices in 2012 and 2013.
Duh! This is not news to most of us that supported the plan. Maybe just news to the same hard core conservatives that complain about "freeloaders" until they learn that the healthcare for the elderly is the largest single drag on the budget.
