It is interesting to see how much an individual or family can earn in income, yet still be getting money from the government for the Afordable Care Act.

"If you earn up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level ($45,960 for an individual and $94,200 for a family of four this year) you’ll be eligible for a subsidy, which will come in the form of a tax credit."
The exact number varies depending on which data source you use (note: the census bureau does not provide online data services during the government shutdown):

However, they all tell us that approximately 72% of individuals and 77% of families will recieve subsidies to make this program "Affordable". Since the basic idea of these programs is to take money from one party and give it to another, how are you going get enough blood from the remaining 20-25% to pay for all of this on top of all the other obligations we have already accumulated?!
