ObamaCare Finds Millions Withour Coverage : Progressives Shrug

Isn't this just what one would think is the design of the Affordable Care Act as it seems even though the bill was pasted to see what's in it, the Obama administration still doesn't know what's in it, and, for the most part, doesn't care.

What the important thing was just to get it pasted 'by any means necessary'. It worked, and now we all suffer because of progressive socialists that are in power who don't care that health care is being strangled . Who, in congress, voted for this nightmare?

Millions of Americans will be priced out of health insurance under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul because of a glitch in the law that adversely affects people with modest incomes who cannot afford family coverage offered by their employers, says Reuters.
Tax credits are a key component of the law and the White House has said the credits, averaging about $4,000 apiece, will help about 18 million individuals and families pay for health insurance once the Affordable Care Act takes full effect, beginning in January 2014.

• The tax credits are geared toward low- and middle-income Americans who do not have access to affordable health insurance coverage through an employer.
• The law specifies that employer-sponsored insurance is affordable so long as a worker's share of the premium does not exceed 9.5 percent of the worker's household income.
• In its rule making, or final interpretation of the law, the IRS said affordability should be based strictly on individual coverage costs, however.
• That means that, even if family coverage through an employer-based plan far exceeds the 9.5 percent cutoff, workers would not be eligible for the tax credits to help buy insurance for children or non-working dependents.

Families USA health policy director Kathleen Stoll told Reuters recent studies showed that anywhere between 2 million and 4 million people across the United States could be adversely affected by the federal rule limiting aid and the IRS interpretation of whether an employer's health plan is affordable.
