billion in cuts Monday to close a widening state budget deficit that he
blamed partly on a slower-than-expected economic recovery.
In addition to making cuts to a wide array of state services, Brown wants
state workers to take a 5 percent pay cut, which would save $402 million in
the coming fiscal year. The amount equals less than one-half of 1 percent of
the state’s general fund.

然后剩下的部分政府补贴给你。这些补贴从哪儿来？Obamacare说将
来自income tax hike，特别是250k+的人，将被多征4%的税，来pay

其实不够，因为政府牛逼啊，说给多少就给多少，不讲价，而保险公司

最近保险公司都在提高保费，就是在提前做好准备，以免Obamacare
