Affordable Care Act NEW TAXES

Bob, you're right. the poster said the "average" American will see a tax increase of 6k. Thanks for the correction.

Now lets see if you can stay on topic....is that assertion remotely accurrate of the tax implications on the average American? Do you want to weigh in on that or would you rather declare victory based upon your grammar correction?

I think we can safely say it's at least as accurate as this:

“In an Obama administration, we’ll lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year….. We’ll do it by the end of my first term as President of the United States.”
Added:

I was posting fact that taxes will be going up directly as a result of the passing of the Affordable Care Act. Most people will think this is a bad thing.

Note: Some of the increases don't start till 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Actually, the woman cited by Republicans in their official SOTU Response would save over $3500 in premiums. But I'm not one to use anecdotes to make broad points. I'll leave that to our board's resident conservatives.

FYI, in this law some states see reductions and other see large increases. The states in the midwest are seeing the reductions. Take that healthcare.gov site, change the state and check the differences in premiums.

That's great PJ..because we don't need to use any anecdotes whatsoever on this one. We know the exact methodology Candidate Obama used to develop his $2500 for a typical family per year number. Here's what he did. "Estimated the Annual Savings due to Obamacare to be $220 Billion Per year. The total savings were then divided by the country’s population, multiplied for a family of four, and rounded down to $2,500."

https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/23/us/23health.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

We know that the ACA is expected to add 621 Billion Dollars to Health Care Spending by 2022.

So now we can simply apply the tried and true Obama Estimator Methodolgy and say with great confidence that the 'Typical Family' must bear the burden of $7000 of additional health care spending over the next ten years. (I rounded down from $7056).

I don't know how to respond to someone who accuses the president of lying and then uses the same arithmetic to make an assertion

The bill that passed into law was not the same plan the president campaigned on - that's the price of living in a Democracy instead of a Dictatorship. We've already touched on the way the new law is paid for. Don't you remember? You preached to us about it from your ivory tower when we ignored the links to it after the after the outrageous statement about implications on "average families".

Your new conclusion about "typical families" is no less outrageous. Just ask Bette (the SOTU lady)...but I'm sure she appreciates your efforts. She prefers made up stuff over facts too.
PJ, has Obama violated the Constitution by making changes to Obamacare and other laws? If not, please tell me what, if any, Constitutional limitations apply to our King.

President Obama has issued executive orders at the lowest rate since President Cleveland was in office in the 1800s.





Watch how none of the resident wing-nuts here change their minds one bit. Facts play no role in what they believe.
Answer the question please.
