Marriage Penalty

WASHINGTON -- Some married couples would pay thousands of dollars more for the same health insurance coverage as unmarried people living together, under the health insurance overhaul plan pending in Congress.

The built-in "marriage penalty" in both House and Senate healthcare bills has received scant attention. But for scores of low-income and middle-income couples, it could mean a hike of $2,000 or more in annual insurance premiums the moment they say "I do."

Would this count for so-called married homosexuals?

Oh no, they are a minority and thus need to be exempt from all the money grabbing crap. Afterall, the politicians gotta buy votes from somebody and gay moochers serve quite well in that capasity.

The only unmarried people living together are gay?

Willy, you have a complex.

What about the larger point of the marriage penalty itself?
