Obamacare and the Family

In this article from American Thinker, there are a couple of points that highlight the truth that the government is out to systematically destroy the Christian understanding of family to the detriment of society as a whole.  Ideas have consequences, and when those anti-family ideas are injected into law, the result is policies that favor fathers and mothers not becoming or remaining married to achieve financial advantage....all at the expense of what is best for the individual, couple and children.
This quote summarizes all that is needed to know, "remember when commentators argued that ObamaCare would “destroy marriage for the middle class the same way that the Great Society welfare state destroyed the black family with financial incentives for staying single”?  Now there is a growing understanding that – as much as anything else – ObamaCare is aimed at subsidizing a life of singleness among women, particularly unmarried mothers.  Little wonder many pro-marriage activists view the bill as “a direct attack on marriage.”  The Heritage Foundation reports that the annual “penalty” for being married could go as high as $10,000, and, cumulatively, a married couple “could face a penalty of over $200,000 during the course of their marriage.”  The bill would “hit young married couples hard” and “bite back at empty-nesters” by creating “enormous pressure for couples to live together without marriage – or even get divorced – by charging married couples thousands of dollars more in premiums and fees.”
In the end, this is nothing more than government sweetening the pot for fathers and mothers to abandon their number one responsibility.  What a tragedy.
