Because it was designed to be paid for by those "normal joes", especially because they do not have the money to fight it.

So you are saying that, once again, the taxpayer should just bow to government extortion to avoid being persecuted by the government? Just be good little serfs working for the government?

Considering that the ACA is Obama's signature legislation and his legacy, he's sure spending a lot of time and effort trying to torpedo it. Maybe we should let him have another term, at the rate he's going he'll repeal it himself.

I know if I had a HC business to insure people and gave someone a bronze plan that costs $59 dollars a month for the individual but subsidised by the govt to the tune $912 a month and think its free money your wrong $10,944.00 is coming out of the taxpayers pockets.
Talk about fuzzy math Democratic style ...

I want to know who's going to pay the 2 trillion dollar tab if Osama Bin Bonehead eliminates all the intended payment sources.

The real problem is the millions who under estimates their income and need to pay back the subsidies.

Since this bill was passed almost everyone has gotten "out of paying for it".

Curious about whether reporting would work out to a month-by month mess, I called the Oregon exchange 18 (?) months ago and was told that, yes, a lot of people would be moving monthly (in either direction) between Medicaid and an insurance subsidy. (e.g. low-wage workers with work schedules that change weekly, plus low-wage workers in months with three paychecks - that third paycheck will push many out of Medicaid and into mandated exchange purchase.

They told me, yes, many would face this issue.

What authority does the IRS have to pay cash for ACA 'tax credits'? When did Congress make this appropriation?

Whatever they do, I am sure that it will not be enough. They haven't kept any of their promises so far. How would this be any different?

UMMMMM, you do know you can paste up to 2 lines of the article.....in order to give people an idea of what is going on???????????????????????????? That way more people can post something without having to go to the site and read the article...if that is what they choose:

WASHINGTON — Obama administration officials and other supporters of the Affordable Care Act say they worry that the tax-filing season will generate new anger as uninsured consumers learn that they must pay tax penalties and as many people struggle with complex forms needed to justify tax credits they received in 2014 to pay for health insurance.
