Interesting, if true, regarding ACA [View all]

http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/02/05/obamacare-a-deception/

A detailed analysis of how ACA is financed, and the mechanisms for how Americans will pay the bill.

Of interesting note is that the tax credit is detailed to be a "tax loan" from the IRS in which you may find yourself owing money to the IRS at the end of the year.

Serious discussions only. Originally found at nakedcapitalism dot com. The name, ObamaCare is distasteful, however.

EDIT: I am interested in posts regarding the technical merits of the article. All others need not reply.
