Marriage Penalty Picked up by Republican Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee

The Democrats’ New Marriage Penalty: PelosiCare Punishes Married Couples, Favors Singles

It’s been well-documented how PelosiCare would harm seniors and taxpayers. But what has not been discussed is how the bill would punish married couples. Consider this:

The House Democrats’ health bill (H.R. 3962) would set the maximum health insurance premium amounts that low and moderate income individuals and married couples could pay each year. These families and individuals would be eligible to receive so-called “affordability credits,” which would cover the difference between the actual cost of health coverage and the cap on premiums. Sounds good, right?

Well, not if you are a married couple.
