New Healthcare Exchanges

healthiest half of the population consumes only 3% of health care costs. The only alternative would appear to be taxpayer subsidies. It is next to impossible, politically, to take away freebees once in place. Income redistribution continues to increase. The 2010 health law, also known as Obamacare, forced insurers to sell coverage to anyone, at the same price, regardless of their risk of incurring big claims. That provision was popular. Not so were rules requiring nearly everyone to have ins ...

Georgia, Ohio and Wisconsin joined more than a dozen other states on Friday in saying they would not establish health insuranceexchanges, while a handful of other states said they would take advantage of an extra month allowed by the Obama administration to make decisions. The exchanges — online markets where consumers can shop for private insurance subsidized by the federal government — are a centerpiece of President Obama’s health care law. &n ...

Register your company as a "member firm" on the carbon exchange. Do nothing. Produce nothing. Over the course of time, you will accumulate carbon "credits" because your company is not using energy or polluting the environment. You can then turn and sell your carbon credits to other companies that are polluting the environment, e.g. factories, airlines, automakers. Contact those "polluting" companies and shame them into buying your carbon credits at a premium, or a "discount" depending on how ...

in Nebraska and Delaware in 2018. Another one bites the dust.Will there be any health insurance left before they get the new insurance rules? The Senate is making up their own policy. Wonder how long that will take. Then they want to send it to committee. That could take a couple years.Some states don't have any Obamacare anymore, yet Obama is still proud of his "legacy" of health care? Don't think so. ...

(CNSNews.com) – As Hillary Clinton counts the many reasons for her election loss, Judicial Watch continues to seek documents related to her tenure as secretary of state, releasing another 2,078 pages on Thursday. Those 2,078 documents include 115 Clinton email exchanges not previously turned over to the State Department. Judicial Watch says the documents include more instances of Clinton sending and receiving classified/confidential information through an unsecured email server. They als ...

November 30, 2012 Health Insurers Will Be Charged to Use New Exchanges By ROBERT PEAR WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday that it would charge insurance companies for the privilege of selling health insurance to millions of Americans in new online markets run by the federal government. The cost of these “user fees” can be passed on to consumers. The proposed fees could add 3.5 percent to premiums for private health plans sold i ...

By N.C. Aizenman, Published: February 4 Signing up an estimated 30 million uninsured Americans for coverage under the health-care law is shaping up to be, if not a bureaucratic nightmare, at the very least a daunting task. While some people will find registering for health insurance as easy as booking a flight online, vast numbers who are confused by the myriad choices will need to sit down with someone who can walk them through the process. Enter the “navigators,&rdquo ...

I had Obamacare and even with the subsidy still could not afford it and was paying for nothing essentially because there was no way I would ever meet the deductible. To be forced to have to have something is not the answer and as awful as some think that the repeal and replace of Obamacare is, we have to do something and we have to start somewhere. Obamacare was meant to fail and did noone any favors and, by the way, we were LIED to. We have to have choices and competitio ...

This healthcare bill only has a few good things in it, but it was passed so it can insure 30 million people in america that don't have health insurance. there are 300 million people in the united states. The healthcare bill is not about health care or insurance at all, it's about making the government more powerful. Now they can tax our behavior. It's about expansion of government. Exerting behavioral control over american people. Th ...

Insurance should cover prescription drugs, such as antibiotics, narcotics, antidepressants (how many here are on THOSE??) and birth control pills. Are birth control pills considered different b/c they're related to sex? Is that what it boils down to? I was put on them at 14 years old by my pediatrician. It wasn't covered; we had to get them at PP. Why wasn't it covered? If I'd had an infection, antibiotics would have been covered. A small percentage ...

But one million more than before are covered. Woot! Woot! link ...

Quoting Ellis Winningham, economist.

The Obamacare tax (fine) highlights one of the main purposes of federal ta ...

My sister-in-law is in her mid 50's and not in good health; however, much (granted not all) of the problem is her lifestyle choice. She smokes at least a pack a day, she is sedentary to the point of using a lift chair, motorized scooter & cane to get around, she is at least 100 pounds overweight and her knees are problematic for her as there is too much weight on them. She had a nervous breakdown about 30 years ago after a bad breakup, and then about 10 years later she got d ...

The President’s Health Care Proposal: Trying To Get Blood From A Stone by Dr. Elaina George If the goal of the President’s proposal was to drive doctors into hospital based practices or community health centers, or if it was to break the spirit of providers and bend them to the will of the government that holds the threat of criminal prosecution over their heads if they are found to be Medicare cheats, or if the goal was to dumb down the practice of medicine by ramping up ...

Oh - not so good? Dear, dear. I am SO very surprised! ...

It was made very clear tonight that the politicians voted against what their constituants wanted. That to me makes a sham of our political system. We should not be democrats vs republicans; we should be Americans. What kind of mess are we leaving for our children to clean up and how will they do it if they do not have the education and resources to do it? This is all being done on fake money. It will run out, and like many who learned that you cannot buy a house t ...

"While power has indeed shifted into the hands of the consumer when it comes to buying a car or choosing a restaurant, this revolution -- what Rothschild terms "Yelpification" -- hasn't, well, revolutionized health care. Writing in the New York Times, Ron Lieber attributed the lack of authoritative doctor reviews to patients' unwillingness to do the actual reviewing. The problem, he said, is one of basic supply and demand: "Many people want this information, and more consume ...

or the people don't even know what they're talking about on the live chat option. I suspect the former, from the recent chat session I had on there.

Not for those who are too impatient to read anything longer than a paragraph. While our earnings are being ground into dust, the HC providers we ultimately work for are marking up everything they deliver by 300%, 400% and more, making outsize profits and paying obscene salaries to executives. Example: A patient charged $1.50 for a generic Tylenol pill when you can buy a bottle of 200 for $4.00 from Walmart (2 cents a pill). https://www.walmart.com/ip/39661523 ...that's ...

Of all of the various government healthcare schemes that are or have been in existence, there is only one that has not blown through its estimated costs by at least a factor of 10. The Medicare prescription drug program is the only scheme that has come in at or below estimated costs. It is also the only scheme that is based on private competitive market forces. Capiche? ...
