In the real world everyone is now paying more for their health care insurance, and getting a far worse product in return. Premiums and deductibles are truly insane under AHA. Once employers start dumping millions of employees into the Federal Exchange next year and dropping their insurance coverage completely. Democrats will be distancing themselves as much as possible from their sole involvement in AHA, out of fear of being lynched by their own constituents.
Americans have only come to realize half of how the Democrats totally screwed them. Next year the other shoe will drop.
According to Kaiser, the average employee contributes $4,565 to his employer sponsored group healthcare plan or about 25% of the true cost. This represents an 89% increase between 2003-2012, pre ACA.
Incomes have not kept pace with healthcare inflation, medical technology or the cost of prescription medications for a long, long time.
Then how does it verify your identity and confirm with the IRS your salary from last year to determine premium subsidies? Or is all of this on the honor system?
Being curious, I registered at my state's healthcare exchange early on. I declined to provide my social. I was then taken through an quick identification process. It provided me with a multiple choice of past residences and phone numbers. In a matter of seconds the system knew who I was. I declined to pursue a subsidy because I have no need for an individual policy and I do not qualify. Regardless, I was informed that I did not qualify for a subsidy.
It was obvious, that once it had confirmed my identity, it looked at my 2012 and likely 2013 quarterly federal and state returns and based upon that information, determined I was not eligible for any form of subsidy.

So we don't even have to know your social security number? Good to know.
The underlying policies, regardless of group or individual, needs to comply with the ACA.
ACA is law, not insurance.
All but one state requires auto owners to carry a defined minimum of liability insurance that complies with state law. Insurers, licensed in a state are required to issue liability policies that comply with state law. The state does not issue the policy.
This isnt auto insurance so I'm not sure why people keep equating the two, one has nothing to do with the other, nor does it have anything to do with the topic being discussed.
Obama could get a policy through Obamacare, i.e. healthcare.gov could he not? Yes, yes he could
But hes not, because once again, he's getting it through his employer, and we all know employers have a 1 year dealy on the mandate..
It makes lots of sense, if you know what is going on..

I use to pay $3,924 annually for Blue Cross/Blue Shield, with a $250 annual deductible. Since I am my own employer, that was 100% of the true cost. The exact same policy cost me $2,244 annually during the 1990s. That is a 74% total increase over the last 20 years, or an average increase of 3.7% per year.
When I said "I use to pay" I meant that as of October 1, 2013 I intentionally canceled my policy and am no longer insured. I also refuse to participate in the Affordable Health Care Act of 2010, and I will not be providing the IRS with any information concerning my health insurance coverage. I want the IRS to fine/penalize/tax me. It is the only way I can gain standing with the courts, so I (and millions like me) can end this liberal abomination once and for all.

Yeah, good luck with that. For your sake, I hope you enjoy wasting money. You'll be paying fines and not having health insurance for a loooong time.

Money spent in pursuit of liberty is never a waste.
