Here's a calculator for the different government healthcare bills:

Health Reform Subsidy Calculator -- Premium Assistance for Coverage in Exchanges/Gateways

Some examples of the Bacucus Bill for a family of four (policy holder age 40):

Income = $60,000..........annual health insurance premiums = $6,363

Income = $70,000..........annual health insurance premiums = $8,400

Income = $80,000..........annual health insurance premiums = $9,435

I've always had TRICARE so it's hard for me to determine the relief that these tables may bring to singles and families that don't have employer sponsored coverage. Chances are if they dont have coverage now its becuase its out of reach therefore I will still be out of reach unless they fall into some Obama Dolla's from his stash.

I invision the premiums are a bit high for someone in a sitution that is employed but does not have coverage. What will be the coup d'éta for many families is the combination of the premiums, deductable, and co-pay under the reformed health care plan that will try to force Americans to obtain insurance coverage.

Sure as crap if there's a more costly approach to healthcare reform for the average American, someone in Govt will find it... and make it policy

One issue is the talk of the choices of: a) paying the premiums the government demands b) paying a high fine and having NO insurance or c) going to jail (prison healthcare would at least be free)

There is no fourth choice such as: d) none of the above

It is a bad time to be without insurance. Many people take a risk by not buying health insurance for a variety of reasons. Works good for some...not good for others.

Usually government programs suffer from corruption and mismanagement which leaves the taxpayer holding the bag (and that bag has no money in it).

Amen!! I see you watched the same vid of the crap that went on in Detroit. It made me want to puke!!
Not a single person knows where money that the govt. spends comes from. wether its spending on health care, education, welfare etc. people think money grows on trees!
I am dreading April, I hate to think how much I will have to send to the IRS on top of what I have already paid in.
