Under Obamacare some married couples can save $11,028 a year by getting divorced! In addition to a tsunami of glitches in online enrollment, Obamacare is designed with a payment structure that undercuts marriage and the family—two institutions that have historically provided the foundation for a sustainable and thriving civil society. The law is structured to provide less support to a husband and wife than it would to the same couple if they were cohabiting. In essence, it will tax married couples to fund the benefits it provides to couples who cohabit, divorce, or never marry. The impact of this discrimination will affect couples at every income level and creates a scenario in which couples’ wisest financial decision would be to divorce or forgo tying the knot. America has already seen a 50 percent decline in the marriage rate since the 1970s and a tenfold increase in cohabitation. If Obamacare exacerbates this decline, many more Americans could miss out on the positive effects that marriage has for both men and women. Children, in particular, will suffer amidst continued family dissolution regarding poverty, physical and emotional health, and the likelihood of success. blog.heritage.org/2013/10/21/obamacares-threat-to-marriage-and-americas-civil-society/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social *** Get divorced (or avoid getting married, if you live together), and you save $7,230 per year if you are a fairly typical 40-year-old couple with kids (example: the husband working full-time, and the wife working part time, with the husband making $70,000, and the wife making $23,000). If you are a 60-year-old couple with equal incomes and no kids, and you make $62,041 a year, you save $11,028 a year by getting divorced or remaining unmarried. These are the amounts of money you will lose if you get married, since you will lose this amount of taxpayer subsidies due to Obamacares discriminatory treatment of married versus unmarried couples. Thats the reality confirmed by an Obamacare calculator provided by the pro-Obamacare Kaiser Family Foundation showing how Obamacares tax credits work. - See more at: cnsnews/commentary/hans-bader/obamacare-provides-7200-divorce-incentive-11000-older-couples#sthash.ZUb1ehAL.dpuf *** Here is yet another example of how government programs encourage people to manipulate their situation in order to qualify for government handouts (that they collect from taxpayers). These redistributive programs negatively impact the productivity and morality of our society. More people are getting on the governments gravy train wagon, leaving fewer people to pull the wagon. This later statement was well discussed here: douglasernstblog/2013/01/27/bill-maher-discovers-subsidizing-dirt-bags-creates-more-dirt-bags/ The linked 6 minute youtube video is well worth the watch and about 4.5 minutes in talks about people growing tired of pulling the wagon. Please share it with others.
