Srsly they actually are saying this:

First, it encourages people to work less. Since the plan only offers tax credits below a certain income level, Americans will face a strong disincentive to stop working once they reach the income level where their subsidies are cut off.

In fact, benefits experts are already advising their self-employed clients to work fewer hours in order to take advantage of the law’s subsidies. That’s especially true in high wage areas, since Obamacare’s subsidies are not adjusted for differences in the cost of living among states.

In effect, Obamacare levies a massive increase in marginal tax rates on middle- and upper-income workers. That tax hike will act as a drag on the economy.

I just can’t even.
