NOT HAPPENING!!!!! So yes, i'll resist and resist with every bit of violent force I can muster.

Wow, now we're up to 30K! Nicely done. I mean if 16K doesn't scare the crap out of people surly 30K will.
You didn't happen to read the relevant CBO statement did you?

Under the House bill, the maximum share of income that enrollees would have to pay for the
reference plan in 2013 would range from 1.5 percent for those with income less than or equal to
133 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) to 12 percent for those with income equal to
400 percent of the FPL. (People with income below 150 percent of the FPL, however, would
generally be eligible for Medicaid and thus ineligible for subsidies within the exchanges.) After
2013, those income-based caps would all be indexed so that the share of the premiums that
enrollees (in each income band) paid would be maintained over time. As a result, the incomebased
caps would gradually become higher over time; for example, they are estimated to range
from about 1.6 percent to about 12.8 percent in 2016. Enrollees with income below 350 percent
