Very happy it passed but 90k limit on household income seems rather low. I guess this is a much broader discussion but shouldnt it be based on average household income rather than cumulative since that scales with number of people where as a hard 90k number doesnt.

The 90k limit also helps keep the conservatives off their back vs 150k or everyone.

It'll give the program some time to show it actually saves money long term and then they can slowly expand it further with better data to back it up
