You think we should tell him he has some help, or should we just thank him and shut up? As of 2009, per the IRS website, there were 131543000 tax returns filed.

ValuePenguin, a consumer finance website. "The upper-middle class are the people who are essentially being asked to foot the bill, and that's true across the country." Interesting. Every week there is a different group allegedly 'footing' the bill. Last week it was the 20 somethings. I wonder who it will be next week? Even those who don't qualify for the tax subsidies could see their rates drop because Obamacare doesn't allow insurers to charge people more if they have pre-existing conditions such as diabetes and cancer, he said.People like Marilynn Gray-Raine. The 64-year-old Danville artist, who survived breast cancer, has purchased health insurance for herself for decades. She watched her Anthem Blue Cross monthly premiums rise from $317 in 2005 to $1,298 in 2013. But she found out last week from the Covered California site that her payments will drop to about $795 a month. But it was okay when people with pre existing conditions were 'footing' the bill. Isn't that right, Brian.
