72. And, two income families may very well decide it makes more sense to just have one earner

Save the money for child care...travel...all work related expenses and have one parent stay home...

20 + percent of income is enough of a factor to drive some people out of the work force to gain coverage through government subsidies. It will become a very real calculation.

Why kill yourself to give every extra (HA!) penny to the corporations?

And, who on earth could blame any family who comes to this conclusion?

They are pushing what is left of the middle class right over the cliff with this bill. It really is akin to spitting right in their faces.
