ACA has a lot of new legislation including an expansion of Medicaid in addition to the individual mandate, penalties for being uninsured, pay or play, and these new exchanges. Also the penalty is capped at 3x the flat rate per family, but if they make below a certain threshold they are exempt.

Thanks for the clarification. If they had good legislation they shouldn't have put it in an unpopular and controversial bill if they wanted it passed easily. Its not a good way to do politics if you care about your people.
That being said. I can see how this could maybe be potentially helpful to middle class or lower middle class people.
In fact I'm all for taking money out of the NSA's pockets and giving it to Not for Profit hospitals to take care of the underprivileged. =)
How much might 10 billion out of 53.4 billion do? I wager quite a bit without further burdening the lower classes.
It would also allow for many more jobs for doctors and nurses. Perhaps we could you know give out a few tuitions for people who want to work in those places?
I dunno =)
I don't think disliking the current legislation is racist.
