One thing we know for sure about ObamaScam, it’s very, very anti-American.

Of course it’s anti-American, it was written by hardcore Marxists.

It’s just another very, very, anti-God’s Law policy of the left.

Not working pays more than working.
Now there is an incentive to get divorced over marriage.

That's just the beginning. Assume that couple with children doesn't marry at all and the babymommy has two kids and a part-time job. She should probably pay babydaddy $400 or so a month rent to keep it legal, and claim not to know who the father is. She'll get subsidized health insurance or Medicaid, food stamps, a rent subsidy, a heating allowance and an Obamaphone. Because she's a struggling, working single mom just doing what she needs to do to get by, she'll stay under the radar for welfare dogooder interference. She'll get money back when she files federal taxes, and if he's under $30,000 or so his taxes will be minimal, probably even an insurance subsidy. If they were smart enough to avoid college loans, they're really well off...as long as they don't advertise with a big house or expensive car; just stay under the radar. It all falls apart if they get married or he identifies as the father.
I wouldn't do it; I'm of a different generation, more like an alternative reality. I do have to say though, the economics of this scenerio is compelling, and I can't imagine how anyone stops gaming the system once they buy in. It isn't even fraud.

“...Erin Hannigan of Organizing for Action's ‘Truth Team’ bragged about” this “cool calculator” showing how Obamacare’s “tax credits” work...”
This is how you do to ALL of America what has already been fully accomplished in minority families!!
There is no other or better way to reduce ALL the U.S. to a totally feral society!!

Marriage is the lynchpin of the middle class. The war on heterosexual marriage is just part of the Democrat war on the middle class.

Message to Republicans in the US House: Get your hands off Obamacare, stop trying to fix it, LEAVE IT ALONE!!! It is a pure disaster for the Democrats so stop trying to bail them out. Stand back and let them wallow in it, turn on each other and make it even a bigger disaster.

You asked for it Obamatons. Now you’re going to get it...good and hard. Bend over please.

I’m getting acquainted with more and more young people who openly say they would love to get married. But the financial benefits of just shacking up and having kids together are too great to ignore.

I had already figured this out. Hubby and I pay $1k a mnth for insurance now. He has a sizeable retirement income. I have a $1k per mnth annuity. If we divorced I would qualify for Medicaid or $0 a mnth insurance thru subsidies.
If we lost our insurance the exchange quotes $1200 per mnth premiums with a large deductible and almost $19k out of pocket not counting premiums. Jeez!!!
If we lost our insurance I would actually have to think about divorce.
