Yes, FX, people who DO pay taxes. They actually make too much to qualify for Medicaid, but can't afford the exhorbitant premiums most insurance companies charge. On my other forum, a woman who is in a group plan for small businesses just got her notification of increase in premiums to almost $1000 a month.
She pays taxes, as does her husband.
Oh, and BTW, waaa waaa to you about EIC. Jeepers, someone who makes less the $25,000 a year gets a little extra back at tax time, boo hoo to you.
When I was single with 3 kids, just barely making it, that little extra I got at tax time took care of dental visits for the kids. |
