4. What's a $70.02 rebate when one's own family pays $14,400.00/yr for private health insurance?

Your response only illustrates my point, and makes one thing even more painfully obvious - the system doesn't even pretend to still be serving middle-class interests in this country.

ACA is another transfer of declining middle-class earnings upwards to private corporations with a captive government enforcing the transfer. Mussolini called it corporatism. There's another word for it.

$20,000 in 1980 is about $52,800 today, which is close to the U.S. median household income. leveymg Jul 2012 #9
