Senate Health Bill Would Up Costs for Millions in Middle Class, Analysis Finds
A nonpartisan study is casting new doubt on President Obama's campaign pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class. The Senate health care bill crucial to saving President Obama's signature domestic initiative will hit the wallets of a quarter of all Americans making less than $200,000 per year, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Joint Tax Committee that assessed the way the bill would hit taxpayers directly through new taxes and fees and indirectly through taxes levied on health care providers and passed on to consumers.
The committee also determined that the bill would subsidized insurance premiums for 7 percent of taxpayers -- about 13 million people -- while some 73 million people would face higher costs from the new fees and taxes.
The potential tax increases in the bill could pose significant problems for the president as he makes his final push for health care reform because he promised to protect middle-class Americans from any tax hikes. Republicans already are pouncing on the committee's analysis.
"For every family that gets some benefit from this program, in other words, a premium subsidy, three families are going to get a tax increase and those three families obviously include the bulk of people you'd call middle class America," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told Fox News.
Democratic leaders are scrambling to gather enough votes to pass the bill in the House later this month so that changes House members want can be added in the Senate through reconciliation, an unusual tactic that allows a simple majority in the Senate to counteract a filibuster by the minority. The steps are part of Obama's final push to pass a comprehensive health care reform bill……

WAIT JUST A MINUTE!! I thought that nobody’s taxes would go up “a single dime” if they made under $250K!!!
Now, THREE families get tax increases for every one family that ObamaCare supposedly helps!!?

Of course it is.
ObamaCare has been a POFS from day i and I said so from day 1.

The good people of America have been hoodwinked. :-\

No we wernt hoodwinked. People voted for this shit.
Obama warned us many times that he was out to freaking assault the taxpayer. Collossus go look at my vis in the Young Voters move to GOP thread.
After watching those, can anyone with any degree of honesty come away with any other conclusion than that Obama and his admn have communistic goals?

How do you go from nobody making under $250K getting taxed to 25% of Americans making under $200K getting hammered?

This has actually been a problem with a portion of the bill since it's inception. The call to tax cadillac healthcare plans actually affected a huge portion of the middle class because of the way they defined these plans.
But, they like to pretend that it's not really raising taxes on the middle class as it's not a direct tax.
