Obamacare Trashes Married Couples
Breitbart ^ | 17 Nov 2013 | William Bigelow

ObamaCare could cost married couples $10,000 per year. Obamacare counts a married couple’s income jointly, so their health care subsidies would be lower, while a couple living together would have their incomes counted separately, so their subsidies would be higher. The report shows married couples in general would receive between $1,500 and $10,000 less in subsidies from the government than unwed couples.

Couples could do better by living together rather than marrying. Indeed, couples staying married could be losing over $200,000 if they stay married throughout their lives.

Obviously fix:
Understand that there are two authorities over marriage, temporal and spiritual. Solution: temporal divorce, personal covenant.
Of course one should, indeed must, consult an attorney to adjust wills and prepare for future estate issues.

Yes, and their insurance plan must contain free contraception, must cover pre-natal services and a host of other coverages that will never be needed.
