The Democrats' Assault On Marriage

Both the Senate and the House versions of Obamacare penalize married couples. The House version is explained by Phyllis Schlafly as follows:

Here is the cost in the House bill for an unmarried couple who each earn $25,000 a year (total: $50,000). When they both buy health insurance (which will be mandatory), the combined premiums they pay will be capped at $3,076 a year.

But if the couple gets married and has the same combined income of $50,000, they will pay annual premiums up to a cap of $5,160 a year. That means they have to fork over a marriage penalty of $2,084.

It is no wonder the Democrats don't want anyone in the public to see the bills before votes are taken. The bills contain various horrors that the Democrats don't want exposed until the legislation is a fait accompli.

Defeat. Them. All.
