>> I brought up a point recently about what levels are considered rich and poor. With this new legislation we are subsidizing the health insurance of folks earning as much as $80K while means testing Medicare benefits at that same level. So is $80K poor enough to not have to pay taxes? Before health reform passed, on another board a kid (~30 yrs) related the story of an argument he had with his dad about it. In the end, he told his dad, "Well, hopefully I'll qualify for Medicaid and I'll have my insurance for free". Yet, he had Internet services, was saving to attend law school, even had satellite radio. Later, he revealed he had just ordered an iPad. These do not seem to me to be characteristics of one who needs government assistance.
