This is yet another one of those highly theoretical posts that Tim specializes in. If this post is to be believed, you have to accept that in the state of Virginia for a family of 3, there are many cases where people making more money are actually worse off than those making less.

Didn't you stop and think what a wretched system that is if this is even theoretically true?

True, majority of people are not experts at gaming the system. They apply for - and therefore receive less then 100% of benefits they are eligible for.

But that's a dumb way of legislating - designing a system that completely removes the incentive to work more for people skilled at gaming the system...

ObamaCare continues in the same tradition of dumb legislating - further removing incentives to work more (and lose insurance subsidies).
