Are you Married? Surprise! ObamaCare Has a Hidden Penalty Just For You.

There seems to be no limit on who ObamaCare’s expensive, overreaching rules and regulations are hurting. Families, doctors, seniors, workers, and thousands of others across the country are struggling because of this law.

In The Atlantic this week, they addressed the newest group who will feel the strain thanks to the health care law: childless, married couples.

Due to the salary restrictions on who receives subsidies towards ObamaCare and who does not, many couples across the country are facing steep premium increases and un-affordable health care costs – just because they are married.

Check out some of the article below, which features married New York City couple Nona and Aaron Arnowitz:

Nona and Aaron’s 2012 income was higher than the 400 percent mark, but not by much.

Premiums for the two for silver-level plans came in at $9,248 for the year.

But if they applied as unmarried individuals with something like their 2012 income, one of them would get at least $3,964 in subsidies toward the purchase of a plan, or possibly even be eligible for Medicaid, thanks to their uneven individual earnings that year. And if they fall below the 400 percent threshold, which Nona says they might this year, they could get substantial subsidies as a couple that are still worth less than what they’d be eligible for as individuals. These gaps are the marriage penalty.

Believe it or not, couples like Aaron and Nona are actually considering divorce as a way to curb costs and make their health care bills affordable.

It’s a shame that the Obama Administration has made life for newly married couples, growing families, and thousands of others even harder because of ObamaCare.

What’s their explanation for this?
