Household Income and Health Care Costs
Physicians for a National Health Program [PNHP] Link to more items from this source
[Opinion]
Sept. 3, 2013

"The [ACA] did include a few measures to facilitate a transfer from the wealthy, including income-indexed subsidies for mediocre, low-actuarial-value exchange plans, an expansion of the tax-payer financed, underfunded Medicaid program, and some modest tax increases on higher incomes. But there isn't really much new help for most middle-income Americans who pay for employer-sponsored plans through forgone wage increases (and at that using inequitable regressive tax expenditures). The [ACA] falls far short of the transfer that will be needed if everyone is to have the health care that they should have."
