So his $ 2,500/month premium is being reduced to $900/month with other people’s money. The brilliance of Obamacare was the obfuscation of this subsidy and the various subgroup cross-subsidies. I say make it obvious - put it in the face of everyone by making the monthly statement perfectly transparent. As in “Your health care insurance costs $2500/month, other people are paying taxes that fund a $1600 subsidy, you pay $900.”

The insanity of it is that none of the articles detailing the political intrigue in this have any $figures in them. No one is explaining how much a 3-year extension of this will increase the annual deficit and the National Debt.

That's because no one cares about that.
