He's saying if they're in the 40% of folks who don't pay income taxes, a
tax credit is worth zilch - so still not able to afford health insurance
- unless it's done like the current "earned income" tax credit where you
get a income tax refund even if you paid no income tax.

But of course that is the way it should be done, and I am pretty sure it is
something like that in the proposed bill.

Do find the clause which provides such payments. There is a complex
scheme where insurance companies are supposed to find out the income
levels of their customers and provide the poorest ones discounts but I
can't find anything about the government making payments to anyone.
