That lower cost insurance you had will be illegal with ObamaCare.
That's another problem I have with ObamaCare. With ObamaCare, the HHS decides what insurance we are allowed to buy, and what insurance companies are allowed to sell.
With ObamaCare, the insurance company and the customer are sitting at the table, and neither of them want what is in the health care insurance contract they are both forced to sign. If the college student wants a high deductible plan, that covers only specific things, ObamaCare will not allow the insurance company to sell it to him.
This will help Romney to get elected now, cuz he will move to repeal it.
^ all of this. Guess I'm lucky I was able to have that choice. Feel really bad for the 20 somethings who don't have that choice anymore.
Blah..blah..blah...listen, you will only be taxed if you don't buy insurance for yourself. You either buy insurance and pay the expected premium, or pay the tax so you won't be burden to us who do have insurance. Either way, your health care will have to be paid for, somehow. That's the logic behind it. Personal responsibility. Socialism my a$$.
No, that's not correct. The penalty for not having insurance is not the only tax.
Go back and read the bill. Even if you have insurance there will still be additional taxes that we have to pay and it's on a sliding scale depending on your income.
You are not home free because you have insurance my friend.
I love how the right is saying that this ia a tax on the middle class. Far fromm the truth as usual. It is only a tax on those who do not have their own health care from work or other sources and who refuse to buy into the government health care. So someone from the right, please explain how this is a tax for the middle class?
As 17 million more people are put on the medicaid rolls this will fuel higher insurance costs for the insurance companies because the government has cost limits.. it will be passed on to the corporations because no hospital will work and have a deficit and stay in business. The more freebees the worse it gets for the full paying crowd.
No, you thought I had a cadillac plan, I do not. But nice try at spin. What this means is that people like myself will continue to do what we have always done; save the most money we can. What this means for everyone else is that they will have to pay more for health insurance or more taxes. See what happens when you try to legislate behavior? People like me with great accountants will still pay less.
Funny, there is thread after thread in C-D where republicans rail against those poor people who are below the federal poverty threshold who pay no taxes. These are called deadbeats, leeches and abusers of the system. Simultaniously, when republicans game the system, it's called financial planning and smart money management. A republican tradition.
Unfortunately, I will have to cut back my employee base due to this law. I can't afford to pay their insurance premiums. Not too worry, there's enough doctors in my family that I'm covered.
They can now force you to buy death insurance, tax you to join a union, tax people to watch tv, tax people for being gay, or having multiple children, or even worse, tax you for not having children, Liberal utopia world..
I don't know if you knew, but the SC justices are mostly conservative, so at this point this bill has a conservative stamp of approval on it.
The tax will be the coverage and there will be a fine for no coverage. All young people will have to pay something . If they have a car payment and school loan payment and make a certain amount of money and it is over what the government dictates is enough for you to pay for health coverage, the car will have to go because you will have to pay the government and the IRS will hunt you down. Just one scenario. It will happen in 2014.
I have never seen anyone who is paying a health care tax lose their car, home or anything else because of a health care tax............ I have, however seen many here lose their homes, cars and get into HUGE debt because of the Health Care Premiums here AND thousand lose their lives every year hear through NO health coverage............ this right wing stupidty about how a tax for health will ruin the Country is not only STUPID but also NOT based on any FACTS or the experience of ALL other Countries with a Govt. funded health system. Only in the USA are people in a Inustrialised Nation made Bankrupt because of the health system
