But in that regard, nothing has changed - only the lucky or privileged can still afford healthcare, and now the underprivileged have to pay a tax penalty for being underprivileged and unable to afford healthcare - and they still get no healthcare. It's a scam.


You are ill informed, nor not very bright. A tax penalty? Huh? Where did you come up with that, Mr. Rove?


Since Republicans have defined 250K as the new middle class, I guess low six figure incomes are the new "underprivileged". So maybe by that standard he is right.
