Obamacare could lower the rate of marriage and increase divorce

Dear Readers: I penned this article today on my Manchester Independent Examiner column. This may be an unintended consequence of Obamacare:

"The incentives contained in the government-sponsored Affordale Care Act (Obamacare) could lead fewer people to get married and more people to divorce. This is an under-reported perverse incentive in President Obama's signature program that could further undermine a social institution that is already in trouble. ---

This is startling information that (snip) may be another reason the implementation of Obamacare should be delayed until the incentives created can be more carefully studied."
