New ad suggestion.... Do the MATH, before you run your MOUTH

http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/healthpolicy/calculator/

This would be especially enlightening for the tea party types who may be on the $10 hr "Gravy train"..

They only need to tune OUT the millionaire spokespeople of their party, and spend a little time running their own numbers..

an example, I ran:

A single 27 yr old making $10 hr for 30hr workweek

means no more piggybacking on parents' policy

and under the "minimum" hours needed for company coverage..

Here's what THEY would pay:

they are at 131% of poverty level and would pay ZERO...and would be covered by medicaid

..................................................

married to a another of same circumstance and add a kid, and you get :

$787.00 a month for SILVER PLAN

MINUS

$683 SUBSIDY..

ending up with $104 per month for TWO parents AND the baby

$34.67 per person...

and that's SILVER...not bronze
