Forbes: How My ObamaCare Coverage Is Almost Worse Than No Coverage
By SIMON CONSTABLE
For many people, like me, ObamaCare has become like a flat fee tax.
Let me explain how.
It’s an amount that must be paid each month. Failure to do so will result in a fine from the government.
It’s not a flat rate tax, which is meant to be the same percentage tax rate but which is still dependent on income. A ten percent tax on a $40,000 annual income is $4,000. But a 10% tax on $250,000 is $25,000. Same percentage rate but a different amount. It is neither a regressive or progressive tax.
Beyond a certain income level, which is relatively low, the net amount charged for ObamaCare coverage doesn’t change. Anyone with the same plan as I have (and who doesn’t receive a government subsidy) pays the same flat fee each month regardless of their income. Read more here.

A case in point is Nigeria, where the once booming economy has fallen on hard times and looks set to get even worse following events in late June. The country has both the largest population in Africa and the biggest economy on that continent, according to data from the World Bank. But those data points belie an economic malaise.
