A Spate of Troubling Facts

1) Back in 2011, 15 IRS agents seized the private medical records of some 10 million American citizens. The Obama justice department did not press charges but a class-action lawsuit has recently been initiated in San Diego.............2) The number of Obamacare waivers now tallies 1,471, the largest chunk of which represent cronyism and rank political payback.............3) In response to the Obamacare medical device tax, manufacturers such as Stryker, Welch Allyn, and Zimmer have decided to engage in a series of preemptive layoffs and now even supporters of the bill such as Senators Franken, Warren, Murray, and Schumer are calling for a repeal of the tax.............4) Obamacare subsidies are significantly more generous to couples who cohabitate than they are to married folks and it is feared that a lot of couples will ultimately divorce and live together rather than stay married.............5) "Starting on Tuesday, every American can visit HealthCare.gov to find out what's called the insurance marketplace for your state. If you've ever tried to buy insurance on your own, I promise you this is a lot easier." President Barack Obama 09/26/2013, 5 days prior to the roll-out.

So, not only are there provisions to punish employers for having full-time workers, there is a specific financial penalty against marriage.

Forget all the idiotic statements about gay rights and marriage equality being 'anti-family': this provision truly is anti-family.

Not only is the "ACA" a war against health care, against American health care equipment makers (forcing them to offshore), against family financial choices, and against working people, it is also a war against marriage.
