Comprehensive List of Marriage Penalties
In House and Senate Healthcare Bill

It's not often you see good, solid policy analysis coming out of a Congressional campaign.  A happy and notable exception is this study by Allen Quist, a candidate for Congress in the first district of Minnesota.

He's put together a comprehensive list of all the marriage penalties in the Senate health bill.  You can read the full list on his website.  Suffice it to say, there is a huge incentive in these bills to co-habitate rather than get married.  There is also a huge incentive to try to make less than 400 percent of the federal poverty line.
