>> I believe the level of subsidies when all is said and done will be just ASTOUNDING.. Totally agree, if the "subsidy calculators" around the Internet are accurate. When you're subsidizing families of 4 making 95K, I'm not even sure "subsidy" is the correct term for it. It is more like "here is a gift from your as yet unborn grandchildren." The news about Walgreens last week was a serious indicator of what is to come: a flood of large employers saying, "What the hell. We'll just let them buy their own insurance on the exchange and give them what isn't paid for by dumping debt on the grandkids." It is just ignorant, and it IS going to break the country unless (hopefully) many of these people just decide to opt out and not have insurance at all, allowing the system to collapse as quickly as possible so we can get about the business of fixing it.
