Obama Slaps States That Don't Comply With Obamacare​

By: Sandy Fitzgerald and Martin Gould

Residents of states that refuse to set up health insurance exchanges under Obamacare are set to be hit with higher premiums under new rules announced by the Health and Human Services Department.

Insurance companies will be charged 3.5 percent of any premiums they sell through the federal exchanges, the department announced Friday. And insurers are likely to pass that surcharge on to clients, leaading to higher premiums.

The only states to be affected are those that refuse to set up their own exchanges because of opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They are almost certain to be those under Republican control. In those states, HHS will set up the exchanges. …

So....GOP led states (Like SC, that bitch gov we have here).....are going to pass power TO THE FEDS (despite their talking points of states power) and as a result we'll all get charged more by the private sector heroes who run insurance companies.

Great job GOP. And on again, you wonder why you lost.

 

[Greenbeard]

Sounds like the federal exchange will be self-sustaining. There goes any talk of Congress defunding its operations.

Obama is an evil lying dick. I don't believe anything he says nor do I believe the media. It's gone crazy.

If I recall correctly, it wasn't the GOP who passed this monstrosity into law in the first place, but it's not like any of us expect you to be objective.

Republican governors can try and make this work, or they can toss their hands up and pout. If the ACA fails, we'll go single payer.

 

[tooAlive]

So, does this mean we'll be able to afford healthcare?

 

[Stephanie]

Obama needs to be IMPEACHED..

how is this legal TO PUNISH THE RESIDENTS of the states?

I doubt that. There is no stomach in this country to go single payer among the American people or the Congress, ACA or no ACA. Furthermore, I would argue that single payer would be unconstitutional.

YOU guys are so f...king STUPID when it comes to health insurance financing!
Dumb fu...KS read what the people who make the premiums are telling you!!!

"The result ObamaCare which today McKinsey & Company commissioned a survey of 1,329 U.S. private sector employers to measure their attitudes about healthcare reform concluded that 30% of all companies would stop providing health coverage once Obamacare kicked in in 2014.
US employer healthcare survey | McKinsey & Company
US employer healthcare survey | McKinsey & Company
And any of you idiots who think the "insurance exchanges" will replace this??? You know NOTHING about how health insurance works!

It was NEVER the insurance companies fault... they just passed the costs on by raising premiums!
Then Obama care does away with "pre-existing conditions" and NOW insurance actuaries are telling us they have to take that in account and therefore the actuaries that calculate the premiums are saying the following for private insurance not employer!

A nationwide study conducted by Milliman Inc. for the Society of Actuaries found that nationwide the premiums in the individual market would increase from 8 to 37 percent in 2014
with a cumulative increase of as much as 122 percent between 2013 and 2017!!!


THERE will BE NO insurance companies! That's Obama's stated plan!

AND guess what you dumb f..ks!!!
$100 billion MORE A YEAR will be gone from Federal/State/Local TaXES including your local property taxes because these insurance companies CAN'T make a profit!

AND YOU dumb f...ks don't know that STATE INsurance regulations require RESERVES dummies! Reserves to pay CLAIMS dummies!
Without Profits dummies... there ARE NO RESERVES...HENCE NO insurance companies!!!
NOW you dumb f...ks! Where do you think the $100 billion will come from????
YOU!!! Suckers!!!!

YOU've all been so assbackwards on this!
Insurance companies ONLY pay the claims at a rate RIGHT now of 80% of premiums go out in claims!
Why are claims so high???
1) $600 billion a year in defensive medicine because health providers are afraid of being sued, they duplicate tests, call in specialists!
2) Medicare pays sometimes 6,000% more then they have to because THEY know hospitals are seeing uninsured and hospitals pad and pass this on!

Between the two.. If lawyers were charged LIKE Tanning salons were in Obamacare 10% of their $100 billion a year the TRULY 8 million "Uninsured"
would be covered and hospitals wouldn't pad and pass. Physicians wouldn't be so fearful of lawsuits as the tax would decline as the $600 billion declined!

Easily American health care costs would drop by $100 billion a year with coverage for the truly 8 million uninsured and lawyers taxed for defensive medicine costs!!!

I doubt that. There is no stomach in this country to go single payer among the American people or the Congress, ACA or no ACA. Furthermore, I would argue that single payer would be unconstitutional.

I disagree, the trend is more and more toward single payer. If after a few years of the ACA, healthcare costs skyrockets, and businesses start to evaluate how much they can save by the country going single payer, it will happen.

Right now, Americans think we can have good healthcare without going with a European model. If in 10 years no one has come up with a solution to our healthcare problems, and te ACA is in the toilet, Americans will be ready to look toward Europe and Canada.

This whole thing, forcing people to purchase health care is unconstitutional we should argue this all the way to the Supreme court....


Wait a second.....

Never mind.

But we don't have problem with our health care system. It's one of the best in the world. In terms of quality, it is the best in the world. The issue has been the cost and that is directly the fault of the government.

What about the growing population of people who (in Bill O'Reilly's words) "want stuff"?

Hopefully, in a few decades, when this oh so dreaded group becomes the super majority we will have the stomach for UHC.

 

[Stephanie]
