Another warning about the analysis of "yet another glitch" in the ACA

Apparently, when the government is deciding if your family needs a subsidy or not to afford your health insurance, that evaluation will only examine if the person in the household working for the company can afford that insurance.

So if you work for a large employer, and they have decent health insurance, and for you as an individual, it is affordable, but not if you add in the three kids and the spouse.

As the ACA is now written, the examination that is made only looks at whether as an individual your salary can offer you the means to pay.

We really need to be shouting about this to any and all Congress critters that want our vote. Especially any that mention how decent a thing their vote for the ACA happened to be.
