“The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office now says six million people will have to pay the individual mandate tax at a higher estimated cost of $6.9 billion to $8 billion, once ObamaCare rolls out in its entirety in 2016. That’s two million more people getting hit with the new tax, or a 50% jump, versus what the CBO initially estimated in 2010. The CBO now says the government’s take from the new tax will be $4 billion to $5 billion more per year than initially expected. The CBO’s analysis shows 80% of the six million expected to be hit with the new tax sit right in the middle class.”
