I do watch Fox’s Special Report for the roundtable but never watch the Internet version that happens afterwards – I wish I had seen this segment but the Daily Caller did where the question was asked. My question is why is the Obama Administrative so hateful towards the upper Middle Class so much that, with the high premiums, the very high deductibles, and all of the other costs that have been piled into Obamacare, he delights in making them now be in the lower part of that Middle Class?
What is FAIR for a Government to do that to its own people, regardless of their socio-economic class? Does he really hate Americans that much?

I can’t think of a good reason why a President would do this to his own people? Why does he wish to impoverish an entire sector of Americans? What possible reason could there be?
That panel was presented with a viewer who asked what would happen if an individual couldn’t pay an insurance provider in the event of some medical situation that limited that individual’s ability to pay.
But that might have been part of the plan, Krauthammer said. If an upper-middle class income earner is making too much to receive Obamacare subsidies, but winds up in a situation where they lose a significant amount of their wealth, that is part of the redistribution mechanism.
“OK, I’ve got a solution,” Krauthammer said. “You make [$80,000 a year] and you don’t have any subsidies. You’ve got a high premium and you lose a lot of money and you end up poor. Well then, you go back and reapply. Now you get a subsidy because you’re poor. So that’s how it would work in practice. Look that wasn’t a joke. That was serious. This is a way of transferring wealth from the upper middle class where you get no subsidies to the lower middle class who aren’t poor enough to end up in Medicaid.”
Other than he doesn’t see them as HIS kind of Americans, I suppose. The question, however, is Margaret Thatcher’s observation of what happens when you run out of other peoples’ money in a Socialist system – what happens then? Make no mistake and there is NO doubt about it – American has now become a Socialist state (the duck, and all that).
And what will the eventual cost of that be? Is this what the Founders wanted?
