A family of four making up to $88,200 annually—roughly $30,000 more than the 2008 median household income—will receive subsidies from the legislation. Democrats claim that these changes, plus other minor provisions (like allowing children to remain on their parents’ insurance until age 26 and limiting the amount that smokers can be charged relative to non-smokers for insurance) will reduce the deficit.

Brady did not contact the police after the meetings, and Smyth went on to abuse dozens more Irish children before being convicted of 90 offenses against children some 20 years later.
