I’m skeptical of that.

What bits and pieces of Obamacare continue to burden us financially and with the IRS as overseer?

If you are skeptical of that, you need to read the part of the bill that deals with federal exchanges. That’s how they work.

You will literally log into a website, plug in your income and family size, choose a plan (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) and the you get a list of private health insurance companies that give you their rates with a minimum defined coverage but can offer more than the minimum to out compete the other companies.

If you make between 133 and 400 percent of the 2014 poverty guidelines, you get subsidized through tax credits to pay for your plan. A family of 4 with a silver plan and making 50k a year would pay $282 for a silver plan with a private health carrier. Here’s a rough cost calculator:
