There is no subsidy for a couple earning $65k+ a year combined. We
included the $5,300 smokers surcharge in our calculation. This will
DESTROY what’s left of the middle class, here the calculator…

The penalty/tax will be phased in from 2014 to 2016.
The minimum penalty/tax in 2016 will be $695 per person and up to 3-times that per family. After 2016, these
amounts will increase at the rate of inflation.
The minimum penalty/tax per person will start at $95 in 2014 (and then increase through 2016)
No family will ever pay more than 3X the per-person penalty, regardless of how many people are in the family.
The $695 per-person penalty is only for those who make between $9,500
and ~$37,000 per year. If you make less than ~$9.500, you’re exempt. If
you make more than ~$37,000, your penalty is calculated by the
following formula…
The penalty is 2.5% of any household income above the level at which
you are required to file a tax return. That level is currently $9,500
per person and $19,000 per couple. The penalty on any income above that
is 2.5%. So the penalty can get expensive quickly if you make a lot of
money.
However, the penalty can never be more than the cost of a “Bronze”
heath insurance plan purchased through one of the state “exchanges” that
will be created as part of Obamacare. The CBO estimates that these
policies will cost $4,500-$5,000 per person and $12,000-$12,500 per
family in 2016, with the costs rising thereafter.
So, basically, you’re looking at penalties of approximately the following at the following income levels:
Less than $9,500 income = $0
$9,500 – $37,000 income = $695
$50,000 income = $1,000
$75,000 income = $1,600
$100,000 income = $2,250
$125,000 income = $2,900
$150,000 income = $3,500
$175,000 income = $4,100
$200,000 income = $4,700
Over $200,000 = The cost of a “bronze” health-insurance plan
