    Right. If you haven't noticed, our entire tax system penalizes married people. The government provides financial incentives - sometimes a LOT of them - to have people NOT get married.

    And, as always, the largest burden of the tax increases, falls on the "middle class". Not the 47% of Americans that don't earn enough to pay any federal income tax at all, and not the richest 1% who can easily pay the accountants to avoid taxes.

    Of course it did nothing to lower medical costs. NOTHING in the program, is designed to lower medical costs, or even have a NET increase in insured people. It's designed to spiral costs out of control, until the sheeple clamor for "socialized medicine". Go back and read the old posts here - the insurance geeks have been saying this for years and years, how it's mathmatically IMPOSSIBLE to increase benefits, cover preexisting conditions, remove lifetime maximums that frankly, only the sickest among us ever reached, and expect costs to go DOWN.

    First grade math - before you can take the cookies OUT of the jar, you have to first put them IN the jar. Also known as, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

    Your tax credit depends on your total household income as well as family size.

    It's household income, so yes that is how it works.
