I live in a small town in Fairfield County, CT…NOT the Gold Coast Greenwich/Stamford. A typical 4 BR Colonial on 3/4 acre (minimum zoning) is taxed at about $13,000. We also pay property taxes on automobiles at the same mil rate in CT, so a $30,000 assessed value car pays local property tax in excess of $1,000 per year. Add 5-6% State Income Tax and that’s a lot of lost deductions on a Federal return.
As for the Affordable Care Act (The Federal edition of Romneycare) it has saved me untold thousands of dollars in the past 4 years.
I did not have to change one doctor, in fact many more doctors and facilities are available to me than before with the same insurance company and same level of plan.
The key is that every state has a different system and the Connecticut Health Care Exchange works well.
