that many of the uninsured realize that most of them will now have to BUY health insurance on exchanges and PAY anywhere between 3% and 9.8% (based on income) for that health insurance.....

an individual making 14,000 a year will now HAVE TO PAY 3% of that $14,000 for health insurance.

an individual making $44,000 a year will now HAVE TO PAY 9.8% of that $44,000 for health insurance.

a family of four making $29,000 a year will now HAVE TO PAY 3% of that $29,000 for health insurance.

a family of four making $88,000 a year will now HAVE TO PAY 9.8% of that $88,000 for health insurance.

How will they react?

Well considering that for a family of four it costs about 20% right now to insure my family through my company, I would be happy to pay 9.8%

Three percent of fourteen grand, what is that about four-hundred bucks?

Have you priced just one visit to a doctor or an emergency room lately?

I seriously beleive it's going to cost more than $400.00 a year for insurance. I pay 188.00 a month for Basic Blue Cross. Before this thing.
