So, the government will give a $20,000 health insurance policy to anyone who quits working?

Yes.
And since the government can't create money (they can only devalue it) guess who pays for them.

If half the families in the US pay no income taxes, that creates a liability of $40,000 for each working family.

For some reason that seems impossible.

I'm going to stop thinking about it before my head explodes.
I don't know the exact average annual income for working taxpaying families, but this seem like over 60% of their gross income, to pay for just for mandatory health insurance alone. Certainly, the large number of idiots runnung our government can't be this stupid. Success can't be manufactured out of sheer delusion.

Publius911: I don't know the exact average annual income for working taxpaying families & dadfly: i seem to recall that [24K] is about the average private sector household income in America

I looked this up earlier (so I could share the story with FB "friends" ;-) and, according to www.census.gov, median income for 2011 was $50,054. So a "Bronze-level" (bottom-tier) plan is expected to cost 40% of the average household income, or $1666 per month.
