Non-Obamacare health plans get 2-year extension.
Posted: Mar 5, 2014
"Now, any small business or individual health policy that begins on or before Oct. 1, 2016, can remain in effect. That means non-compliant plans could be in use through the end of September in 2017."
Other changes include:
"– The open enrollment period for 2015 extends to Feb. 15 of next year, instead of Jan. 15. Enrollment for next year starts Nov. 15 of this year.
– States that want to run their own insurance marketplace in 2015 will have a later deadline for filing a blueprint for doing so. That new deadline now is June 15 of this year. That deadline will apply for subsequent years; states that want to start running an exchange in 2016 will need to file by June 15, 2015.
– The threshold has been lowered for reinsurance to kick in on high-cost claims.
– Changes in temporary risk corridors to stabilize individual and small-group premiums while insurers sort out costs stemming from the extension of the deadline for non-compliant programs."

CBO Now Says 10 Mil Will Lose Employer Health Plans Under ObamaCareJan 28, 2015
The Congressional Budget Office now says ObamaCare will push 10 million off employer-based coverage, a tenfold increase from its initial projection. The "keep your plan" lie just gets bigger and bigger. The latest CBO report is supposed to be a big win for the Obama administration because the projected costs are 20% below what the CBO first projected in 2010. But the CBO report also shows that ObamaCare will be far more disruptive to the employer-based insurance market, while being far less ef ...
Obamacare Architect: We'll Kill Job-based Health PlansApr 06, 2015
One of President Obama’s key advisers in drafting the health-care legislation that is now law says Obamacare will eventually spell the end of employer-based health plans. Experts from both sides of the aisle aren’t upset by the idea of removing employers from the health-care equation. However, both sides are also skeptical that Obamacare will have the effect Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel predicts. Emanuel is quoted in the New York Times saying that a few blue-chip companies will be the tip o ...

Obamacare Cracks Down On Health Care FraudAug 30, 2011

Last year, the government recovered a record $4 billion from health care fraud under the nascent laws. This year, the haul could be even larger with the increase in prosecutions. ...

The rest of the 9 percent rise is due ...

January 8, 2015: As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear a case that could prove to be a fatal blow against the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, a new study has concluded that the consequences of striking down the law's subsidies for low- and middle-income individuals will result in a sharp drop in the number of Americans with health insurance, as well as a steep rise in premiums.

Health Insurance Is A Poor Measure Of Health Care.Sep 14, 2011
On Tuesday, the Census Bureau released its annual report on health insurance coverage in the United States. News media widely misconstrued the data and presented the problems facing the nation's health care system through a distorted lens. Many major news outlets made a basic error when reporting on the Census Bureau study. The Los Angeles Times wrote that "the number of Americans with no health insurance rose in 2010 to 49.9 million from 49 million the year before." But the figure c ...

Obamacare Is Failing From Behind... His Goals For ObamacareJul 20, 2016
1) Have it collapse so that single payer can be implemented amidst the ensuing chaos. 2) Have that happen on somebody else’s watch. Obamacare was designed to fail so the Democrats could “reform” it with complete government provided socialized medicine. That is the entire purpose for it. Obamacare is designed to collapse so they can backfill the vacuum with government run socialized medicine. Eventually, everyone will be on some form of Medicare. I believe that was one of Bernie’ ...

Candidates' Deficit Plans Don't Add UpOct 01, 2012
As the government closes the books Sunday with a $1.1 trillion deficit for the year, which required borrowing 32 cents for every dollar it spent, budget analysts have little confidence in either presidential candidate's plan to address the accumulating debt, now at about $16 trillion. The Republican nominee promises to balance the budget in eight years to 10 years, but he also offers a mix of budgetary contradictions: higher Pentagon spending, restoring cuts that Democrats made in Medicare ...
