SUBSIDIES: Individuals and families with annual income up to 400 percent of poverty level ($88,000 for a family of four) would get sliding-scale subsidies to help them buy coverage. The subsidies would begin in 2013.
I assume that the $88,000 is adjusted gross income, not gross income. If so, I'm poor and would get a subsidy.
I knew times were tough for us, but I had no idea we needed government handouts. As the post below indicates, refusing these handouts would come with a penalty.
