These tax amounts are only if the bill costs exactly what Washington says it will cost. It never has before, even in times when they thought they were telling the truth (and they knew they were lying this time).
Let's just assume for the sake of argument, it cost only 940 billion (and it will cost twice that much at least). Half of that is taxes, but the 500 billion comes from cuts. The way they get those cuts, is 200 billion in improved efficiencies that they made up. The other 300 billion comes in compensation cuts to doctors, that they roll back every year. They will roll them back again this year.
This means we will have to pay for a shit load more then they say we need to pay. They will do it two ways. One is to lower the cap below $200,000, and the other is they will increase the tax.
Also, the "hidden tax", is they are offloading all the costs to the insurance companies, and telling them they can't charge individuals more, so they have to raise all the premiums to absorbe the cost. Every American who pays for insurance now, will most likely pay more for it in the future (aside from the poor).
This is a tax as well.
