I like their succinct summary of this. If the government cannot send out the right tax form for a simple this cost, this amount for our mandated plan, they cannot be allowed to manage life and death decisions.
And calling the subsidy form the H&R block guaranteed employment form is genius.
A lot of people will now need help filing their taxes or will file incorrectly if they do it themselves (the forms are ridiculous). To hear general talk around the water cooler, among acquaintances, etc., many many people use that tax refund as a savings, vacation, big purchase, catch-up-bills-after-Christmas slush fund (silly people - letting the gov’t have their money all year for free). They file early and all but camp out waiting for that refund ..... refiling or waiting is going to make them SO mad and upset, far more than just being mandated to buy insurance. For those that have to pay back subsidies, they’ll be heading for the tar & feathers.
