even if your number were true 86% of the country is not a relative few.

With all this talk about not wanting to pay "increased taxes," can anyone share an estimate of how much the increase will be? Is this even going to be remarkable or will it be an increase of maybe $100 a year or less of taxes (indexed for income level)?
Someone here, cannot remember who, said they would prefer to skip paying the extra taxes and use that money to privately build a better future for their children. Seems like rosy rhetoric if the tax increase will have a net effect of $55 more a year out of a paycheck. If the net effect will be substantial, then I can see the argument.

Nearly 40 percent of the uninsured population reside in households that earn $50,000 or more (1). A growing number of middle-income families cannot afford health insurance payments even when coverage is offered by their employers. |
