In addition, there’s the hidden surprise waiting for those who are enjoying subsidies to help them pay for the insurance. If they have a “major life event” like getting married, or getting a raise or a promotion with a higher salary, not only could the subsidy disappear but any subsidy they enjoyed prior will have to be paid back.

The clock is ticking as the November elections draw ever closer. Senate Democrats up for reelection who voted for the ACA are finding themselves facing unhappy constituents and newly energized challengers along with critical TV ads from conservative groups such as Americans for Prosperity.

Atkins: Obamacare fears grow in new year
Most people know that the health care law provides subsidies for qualifying individuals to help offset the costs of signing up for health care coverage. Most people, however, are unaware that those subsidies can come back to bite the recipients if they have one of several major life events during 2014, such as a marriage, a new job or a job promotion. Come tax time, those individuals can face an unexpected bill from the IRS for the repayment of the subsidy.
I can’t wait until Willie “Thanks Obama” Pitt over at the DUmpster finds out about this. LOL!
Let’s do everything we can think of to stop people from bettering themselves.
So you will be kept down so as to enjoy crapcare
What happens if they don't pay the "unexpected bill"? I know there's a fine for NOT having coverage that will be deducted from any refund due but what if the refund is less than the subsidy pay back? Oh, that's right, it had to be PASSED before we can see what's in it.
Is it not enough that once they get a job and begin earning, they will be paying taxes like the rest of us?
It would be better and probably far more cost effective for the government to simply loan money when major healthcare is needed to those that can't pay. At least the government isn't forcing them to become debtors until their health dictates that they do so.
More of that wonderful communist plan for America.
“What happens if they don’t pay the “unexpected bill”?
You’re kidding right? The “IRS” ... they will do what the Hell they want and your WILL like it!
we have a $150 limit per month to any increase in income or we pay the full cost of our health care
Being retired that means if our social security goes up, for example, we’re sunk. If I want to cash out some of my IRA early to pay down 18% credit card debt, I’m sunk. And so on.
Thanks for the incentive to earn more to take care of myself, you &sshole Obama !
Ping.
William Pitt's still alive?? What is he, like 300 now?

** HAPPY NEW YEAR from BARRY ALINSKY **
You asked for it, you got it.
In other words they want to keep the poor poor and punish those who might move up the ladder of success.
Is dying considered a ‘major life event’?
I’m not sure if we get the Senate and keep the House that anything can be changed. The communists are so well seated in the law, the Administration, the MSM, and Hollywood that they will be in power for many years.
Aren’t you on Medicare?

I’ve been half expecting a real life directive 10-289 for a while. A real one would no doubt be even more destructive than the one in Atlas Shrugged.
Here’s a New Year’s story of some low info ‘bama voters getting turned away from the ER if they won’t pay the lady
