He will always write about increasing the penalty for non-compliance with the mandate and then later state that he is for helping the uninsured. I had once planned on writing to him. To tell him that the way things look now I will be one of the working poor who cannot afford the coverage, even with a subsidy. I live from paycheck to paycheck and the mandated coverage that takes 8% of my salary will come to over $100 a month. For me that is grocery money, and I'm not eating too well at this time anyway. I never bothered to send the post because I got the gift of a full time job and so much overtime that I'm now working myself out of the hole the recession created for me. Klein never struck me as anything but a smarmy and this information about his list now validates that impression.
