Speak Out: So ObamaCare plans to cost families at least $20,000 per year?

Posted by We Regret To Inform U on Tue, Feb 5, 2013, at 6:18 PM:

Well isn't that nice to hear. Our new affordable healthcare is going to cost almost double of what I pay now. The unions are wishing they didn't take the bait along with all the Obama voters that will be eating this baby. But you can count of on the support of the leaches on this one.

All so a handful of Americans can get affordable insurance that will no longer be affordable.

  • I have no source to quote or refer to but I kind of thought that large amount was to be reduced with each government hoop folks jumped through.

    That's the way my insurance that is supposedly cheaper through wife's work does it. I guess I'll pay more because I decline to go to these so called healthy reward classes so some little twit can tell me how much and what to eat and how much to exercise along with what medical preventive tests to have while documenting it all in a work book.

  • This is the back breaker for the american family. Employers are going to quit paying insurance since the cost is going to be so much. The really bad thing is quality of care will diminish. I'm really wanting to see SpaniYard and Common spin this.

    I knew they were wrong when the posts were active. I truly think the kool-aid was to strong for them to think otherwise. Now it is the IRS (Obama's insurance collectors) putting out the facts. I still remember people saying the hiring of the IRS people was BS. This affordable care is now becoming unaffordable quick.

  • Per your link...

    Example 3. Family without minimum essential coverage. (i) In 2016, Taxpayers

    H and J are married and file a joint return. H and J have three children: K, age 21, L,

    age 15, and M, age 10. No member of the family has minimum essential coverage for

    any month in 2016. H and J's household income is $120,000. H and J's applicable

    filing threshold is $24,000. The annual national average bronze plan premium for a

    family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000.

    (ii) For each month in 2016, under paragraphs (b)(2)(ii) and (b)(2)(iii) of this

    section, the applicable dollar amount is $2,780 (($695 x 3 adults) + (($695/2) x 2

    children)). Under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section, the flat dollar amount is $2,085 (the

    lesser of $2,780 and $2,085 ($695 x 3)). Under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, the

    excess income amount is $2,400 (($120,000 - $24,000) x 0.025). Therefore, under

    paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the monthly penalty amount is $200 (the greater of

    $173.75 ($2,085/12) or $200 ($2,400/12)).

    Looks like the $20,000 is an average, not a minimum.

    - - - - - - - -

    Here is the CNS News (Right news Right now) title of the article...

    "IRS: Cheapest Obamacare Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family"

    Now skip down a few paragraphs and this is what it says...

    "The annual national average bronze plan premium for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000," the regulation says.

    Apparently CNS News has problems differentiating between what average means.

    Reminded of an old story...

    Cab driver drops off his rider at a hotel. Passenger asks what the average tip is. The driver says it's about $20. The guy gets out, grumbles about that being pretty high for an "average." The Cabby smiles and says, "Thanks man, you're the first one ever to come up to the average."

  • Swaying the discussion to the definition of "average" is one way to deviate from the facts, I suppose.

    Knit-picking does not take away the validity of the opinion that medical insurance will cost working Americans more with more administative costs so that everyone can have a lesser quality and choice.

    I'll admit I form my opinions with input from other's at times but I try to use some logic and balance while trusting my gut instints.

    The choice and availability of medical insurance will decline to the eventual point of a single payer for everone. That single payer will be the government limiting profits accross the board so as to drive the private sector out of the medical and healthcare professions.

    -- Posted by not_sorry on Mon, Feb 11, 2013, at 6:42 PM
  • "Have you ever expressed an opinion that was self originated..."

    Almost all the time. On the infrequent occasions that I have quoted or utilized positions of others, I have given them credit. Even then, I apply my own logic and rationale.

    For example: In the case of entitlement cuts, I have often said that the proper approach is a combination of eligibility age increases, more personal contributions and a slight increase in withholding amounts. For Medicare I recommended that the effective age be increased because people are living longer, healthier lives. Each office or hospital visit should require a $20 co-pay at the time of the visit (this would also apply to Medicaid.) Medicare withholding could be increased by a few tenths of a percent.

    Similar changes could be made to Social Security with regard to eligibility and withholding. The entry age in particular could provide for varying amounts for different age groups. Finally benefit amounts could be reduced across the board.

    These kinds of changes would rescue the programs to make them sustainable in the long term. They are also the kind of adjustments that I feel the President Obama administration would accept. There is no reason why the republicans would not agree to these, except for the "party of no" attitude. The only real problem is that neither party wants to be the one to put these proposals on the table as they would immediately be politically blamed as the party that "cuts entitlements." I personally think that the President should bite the bullet and put these solutions on the table, and I think he will.

    On another issue, health care reform, I have pointed out numerous times that the republicans, again applied the "if the President is for it, we are against it" formula to health care. What if a bi-partisan group of Congressmen had worked on a compromise solution that satisfied the centrist portions of both parties, and was accordingly able to pass an Affordable Care Act that the majority of Congress, most Americans and President Obama agreed with. This type of solution would be good for the country, and good for the Democrats politically, but possibly not so good for the conservatives politically. Consequently, I strongly feel that, although he tried, President Obama was unable to overcome the Republican disinclination to cooperate. Recall that Senators shamelessly declared that their primary objective was to make President Obama a one-term president, and this is why I do not fault him for lack of compromise.

    In any case these are my own conclusions, not "the talking points of the government elites."

    Sorry to disappoint you.

    Do you mean like the bipartisan committee recommendations that Obama formed then ignored? From the NY Times:

    "The president had opted not to endorse the recommendations of a deficit commission he had created in hopes of brokering a bold, bipartisan deficit deal. That gave rise to a portrayal that has stuck, popularized by Republicans, pundits and some Democrats: that the president, out of political timidity, snubbed his own panel's plan."

  • The republicans rejected it because of tax code reform that would generate more revenue to reduce the deficit. -- Posted by commonsensematters on Tue, Feb 12, 2013, at 4:17 PM

    Wrong. Obama rejected it. Read the NY Times article and quit using HuffPost-Norquist comments. Not applicable here.

    Obama rejected a bipartisan solution. You keep posting how nice it would be to have one. We had a MAJOR bipartisan effort and Obama killed it. Spin that one more time.

    And the teacher puts her two cents worth and goes back to the teet for her evening meal.

  • Rick, I've never considered you to be a wizard of SO and you've never acted in that way.

  • Oh dug, I'm disappointed in your witless remarks. Also, my white male students and all others say "hi" and want some t-shirts too.

    You said you were leaving this site. Another lie from the sock-puppet?

    I can't wait until the news story comes out. "Teacher fired for racist remarks against white students". It's only a matter of time with your anger and racist attitude. You'll be outed some time I'm sure. Unless you're an old lady about to retire.

    Those poor kids.

    Keep coming back - don't leave. You're too easy and I want to see some more of those racist remarks. And hear about your class of Ethiopians, Vietnamese, Bulgarians, Russians, and Arkansasians. Did I leave any out that you "claim" to teach?

  • Common, Thanks for your evaluation. Your response in flattering.

    About those good old days: When there were honorable democrat polititions that represented their constituates interest in an economically conservative way and less radical liberal social fashion. [same goes for republicans]

    The Cadillac Man reference regards TC, former Cadillac man's belief that anything "the people's" candidate did would be the saving grace of the country. I thought it would be fun to see if he's still reading the threads and jab at you at the same time for seemingly the same attitude.

    As far as the 99% of the time, I think you missed it by a few percentage points. Not all thought is judged with originality depending on your criteria. In other words, just because you don't agree doesnt mean it's not original.

    I will stand on my opinions which are just that, opinions, and retain the perogative to change my mind when I wish. Never know, I may even agree with one of your 99% wrong headed thoughts sometime! :)

    Back then they were all pretty well down the middle. Now they are both too radical.

    Things sure run better when there isn't a divider running the show. I'm my time there were two. Reagan and Clinton. I voted for both.

  • Dug, I'm honoring your request and not leaving cause your comments provide me with so much entertainment and I especially like that it bugs you. Keep up with the rants and crazy talk, I'm sure others are finding humor in it too.

    BTW - do you know where I can buy some cheap t-shirts?

    I don't know what your obsession is with t-shirts. I can only imagine the sick things that run through that mind BECAUSE (teacher) your comments are bizarre.

    I'm glad your back. We could all use the example of another racist Obama supporter working on the government dime whose salary is paid for by us.

    I would rather think you should buy a white gown with a pointy white hat. Your racist attitude would look good in a KKK outfit. It fits.

  • Dug, you should really try harder. Do you know ANYTHING about the KKK? Apparently not. What a dummy!

    They were the muscle for the Democrat party.
