3. The article you quote does not explain how the 9 trillion dollar tax hits the middle class

instead it actually makes the point that the tax (which it is) will be on companies-- and essentially replaces the private payments with government payments -- yes a tax (but not on individuals!). The article then claims the tax is on workers, when even they stated before that it is not, but on companies. Maybe they are just conflating companies with their workers, but that is flawed thinking.
Basically companies will pay a tax to the government instead of paying insurance companies.

I'm not sure why the author of that article focused only on that tax, there are quite a few in her proposal-- the thing is they are not on middle class individuals.
