Two days later and we only reached 42 comments. Huh. I guess there are too many articles to choose from since there are 3 other Obamacare articles being pounded right now.
Obamacare socialism leads to communism. Watch this documentary to find out what the POTUS and his communist party have planned for America. You’ll be shocked and appalled! – Grinding Down America – http://vimeo.com/63749370
In his view, we would be headed to communism but creating medicare. Another republican prediction gone bust. Now ding bats like Paul Ryan make Medicare a campgaign issue saying Obamacare will end Medicare.
That’s all republicans are good for these days; doomsday predictions that don’t come true. The best thing this country can do is run completely counter to the republican platform.
If you think Obamacare is socialism, you need to go back to school. The private insurance companies will make out like bandits on this one.
Not all of their predictions were doomsday – Rush Limbaugh swore that if Obamacare got passed, he would move to Costa Rica. Unfortunately, he didn’t live up to his promise. It’s funny that he picked Costa Rica, where they have universal healthcare!
When republicans mentioned the mandate during HW’s presidency the liberals were in disarray because the private insurance companies would make out like bandits. Clinton attempted to make that a part of his 1993 model I might add, he ran on it. So he must have really liked HW’s plan.
Now that the insurance companies actually are (supposedly, from one democrat’s opinion “you”) making out like bandits, the democrats are going from doom and gloom to roses.
One of the two parties just made a switch on what the mandate does, while disguising their true interests perhaps?
D, you try to sound clever but please. You don’t yet have politics figured out. At all.
The only political issue with Obamacare is that no one wants it! Even Unions now, Government Employees and the Obama supporters who have received their exemption from it. Just like the head of the IRS said in congressional hearings. “Why would anyone want to be placed in an insurance exchange if you do not have to?”
I may not want “Obamacare” but I want some solution to universal healthcare for all citizens. This is the only thing we got. Funny, the original ideas for the use of exchanges and a mandate are Republican. You guys are really confused, aren’t you?
DJ, With this administration, it is all politics all the time 24/7. They are not about governing in the best interests of the people, but to promote their agenda and control our lives which is a prime tenant of of Progressive Socialism.
Like how they want to control women’s bodies? Like the way they want to continue wasting billions of our tax dollars on controlling what a person puts into their own body? Republicans, especially the TEA (Taliban Evangelicals of America) Party, are the ones who want to control our lives, by turning this country into a religious dictatorship.
Libby–why don’t you fight your own battles and let others fend for themselves? You’re a real PITA sometimes..

I have a quick question, I do P&C and don’t really know all the in’s and out’s of Benefits coverage, but I do have my employer Health coverage…..But what happens if a person goes to the ER, has no insurance and hasn’t signed up for an “Exchange”? Is the hospital going to refuse to treat them? I know there is a “fine”, but if you can’t afford insurance, you can’t afford a fine, how are they going to get it? The old proverbial, “Can’t get blood from a turnip” statement.
If you can’t afford insurance, there are subsidies available to help make it affordable. I’m sure the hospital will treat the patient, but there is probably some type of reporting to the IRS that the person is uninsured.
Why can’t it mean allocating taxes already being paid into the system? My taxes haven’t increased. If someone making $2M has a slight increase in taxes, that will not hurt my feelings whatsoever. He’ll just take it back with some loophole or unknown deduction his fancy accountant works out for him. I don’t know about you, but I do my taxes on TurboTax because I can’t afford an accountant. And I’m sure I pay every nickel I’m supposed to. And then some. If some of that money goes to subsidize healthcare for someone else, that’s alright with me.
Because Libby, it never does. It only means tax increases. Your my age, you should have experienced that already in your life time.
Don’t forget, this is Chicago Politics in DC too.

My taxes have gone up and they’ve gone down throughout the years. My marginal federal tax rate is 19% in 2013. It would have been much higher in 1980 for the same amount of payroll. My beef isn’t so much with the taxes I pay but the fact I have no say where the money goes. If it’s for funding a war in Syria versus providing healthcare for U.S. citizens, then I don’t like it.

Hi FFA, Good to see you on another blog. I am still looking for my tax breaks, aren’t you? I am classified as a small business owner and I am getting hosed by taxes and more are sure to come as this Administration seeks to destroy small business with their taxes and regulation. This is the biggest redistribution of income scheme in American history. It is not about Healthcare, but control over every aspect of our lives. Progressives are all about control, hence the 15,000 pages of regulations attached to this bill.

Agent, you’re right about that wealth redistribution. Every time I put gas in my car, the wealth is being redistributed to the wealthy. Our entire economy has shown an increase in wealth redistribution to the wealthy. Progressive efforts would actually slow the REAL redistribution of wealth (to the wealthy, which is where it’s actually been going).

So wvagt, the infamous leader of the Senate, Harry Reid said in an interview on Friday that the only reason why Republicans are opposing the President’s agenda was that he is an African American President. How is that for interjecting race? The man has been elected twice. It couldn’t possibly be for the policies he has instituted that are dragging the country down so it must just be about race. Reid is the biggest idiot in Senate history.
So let me get this straight. Because you are in this country illegally, you are not entitled to health care? They should just either suffer in silence or go for their treatment? You are something else, PC.
Libby, it seems to be a Republican principle. Many, and I don’t mean all, do not have a human perspective when it comes to someone being in America illegally. I mean, after all, Jesus would let illegals die in the streets, too. No way would He try to heal them…oh, wait…

Many illegals are hard-working, contributing members of society. In fact, I will say ALL that I have met and I’ve met quite a few living in Colorado. They are NOT a drain on society as you represent. They have jobs, raise their children well, and keep nice homes.

Many years in health insurance. What concerns me is the true cost of NO underwriting and increased benefits and the promise of lower rate increases. Some states or age classes will benefit and others will face increases ( IF they enroll ). Math does not add up.
I have only seen that work for Marketing.
EDDM is becoming one of my favorite methods. 1000 post cards for $140.00 brings in two new H & A monthly.
Community Based Marketing also. 2300 items at a per unit cost of 0.23cents pays big. Latest big score off that – a 50 units apt building in Chicago. Sister building coming in soon.

Not to sound snarky, but the law of large numbers is the fundamental principle of the insurance business. That is why more for less WILL work. When you have more people paying premium, the premiums of many pay for the losses of the others. Granted, a socialistic approach, but none-the-less that’s why it works. When the healthy buy in (or pay the tax penalty) those $ pay for the claims of the sick. Just like, fire, auto, and every other line of insurance.

Insurance actuaries are always making assumptions. That’s how it works, FFA. If they don’t buy in, they will be hit with a $1,200 tax penalty. If they can buy coverage for less than $100 per month, which most healthy under-30 person can do with a catastrophic policy, why would they not buy in? Either way, we are guaranteed $1,200 per person (not including any subsidy.) I think it COULD work.

Bill, the reason why this is not Health Insurance is that there is no underwriting at all. The application is concerned with income to qualify for subsidies or not. I have seen the app. Compared to the health apps we have used over the years, nothing is asked. You can be on your death bed and still get coverage and the company will have to pay. Do you think that is a sound approach to writing health insurance? All this bill does is re-distribute wealth and is not about health insurance per se. The takers of our society will get one more entitlement.
There pricing tier using age, gender, and tobacco use. That is a form of underwriting. If you are single, 50 year-old male, you will pay more than a married 30 year-old male that doesn’t smoke. Since there can be no pre-X exclusion, past medical history is irrelevant. I know you are negative Nellie and it is against your politics &/or religion to think this idea could work, but it could. And if it does, it would be a great thing for this nation’s citizens.
If it is going to be so good, why have almost all the government unions and labor unions and the businesses that financially supported Obama in his endless campaign obtained waivers from having to comply with the ACA? Huh? I hear crickets.
Sarah, you are being too kind to call this law awful. It is not a Healthcare fix, but a redistribution of wealth pyramid scheme and a way to tax Americans more if they don’t want it. Everyone who voted for this trash without reading it should be cashiered out of office. Some who voted for it already lost their career by being voted out in the 2010 midterms. Nancy did throw them a good going away party though.
As bad as these numbers are, Congress has a 14% approval rating which is falling more after they pulled the fast one exempting themselves from Obamacare after they voted it in.
If you don’t like the law, go out and make one of your own; however, your party has a severe disability with being able to talk the talk and walk the walk — so we know nothing will be accomplished by the Republicans.
