In almost every case under the Affordable Care Act, married couples will fare poorly compared to unmarried couples. The reason: subsidies in the newly created health insurance exchange will treat two singles better than a married couple.
Somebody has to get hit hardest; the writers of Obamacare probably think married couples can afford to take more of a hit. It already slams young people very hard, to get them to pay part of the cost of the old people.
Trouble is, the whole point of health care reform was to LOWER THE COST OF HEALTH CARE. How could anyone support a law that increases the costs of health care, causes doctor shortages by forcing private practices to join huge medical conglomerates, imposes over a trillion in new taxes, fattens the wallets of Big Insurance and Big Pharma, and adds the gigantic bureaucracy of Big Government to the already-unworkable bureaucracy of Big Insurance?
Because children are important for the survival of a nation, its future perhaps.
Marriage makes no difference to that, as it's only a piece of paper.
People will still breed regardless.
