HOME > BLOG > Dr. Scott Gottlieb: The 'Middle-Class Squeeze' under current healthcare proposal.
March 17, 2010
The president has spent the closing days of the health-care debate making his case to the segments of Americans who will benefit under ObamaCare. But lots of other people will be squeezed under the scheme--and not the rich folks that President Obama singles out in his stump speeches, but families who are decidedly middle class. Health reform will leave many of them newly priced out of a transformed market for health insurance.
The hardest hit won't be those earning more than $250,000 a year--the group that he says needs to "pay their fair share." Rather, it's families whose combined annual income is around $100,000 who could be crushed under this plan.
