Don't forget the bevy of new taxes added to the monthly premium. Got a letter from my insurance company explaining ACA and on the last page they mentioned the new taxes due to ACA: Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute tax (PCORI): $2 per member per year Health Insurer Tax: 2.3% of your monthly premium Transitional Reinsurance Tax: $5.25 per member per month Exchange Tax: $13.95 per member per month Risk Adjustment User Tax: 0.96 cents per member per year This is only the start. Remember all the taxes and fees that were on a landline phone bill? Looks like our monthly health insurance bill will look the same.
it is the camel's nose under the tent. that is how every tax starts. the middle class that works in the private sector must pay the freight for everyone. that is true in every socialist and semi socialist country.
apparently the govt thinks having insurance is more important than buying food this will cause a Revolution. mark my words.
your remarks are as usual from a no nothing. Enter Information About Your Household 1. Select a State ? 2. Enter income as 3. Enter annual income (dollars) ? 4. Is employer coverage available? ? 5. Number of people in family ? 6. Number of adults (21 and older) enrolling in exchange coverage Age Uses Tobacco? ? 7. Number of children (20 and younger) enrolling in exchange coverage Results The information below is about subsidized exchange coverage. Note that subsidies are only available for people purchasing coverage on their own in the exchange (not through an employer). Depending on your state's eligibility criteria, you or some members of your family may qualify for Medicaid. Household income in 2014: 174% of poverty level Unsubsidized annual health insurance premium in 2014: $2,535 Maximum % of income you have to pay for the non-tobacco premium, if eligible for a subsidy: 5.11% Amount you pay for the premium: $1,021 per year (which equals 5.11% of your household income and covers 40% of the overall premium) /yr. you said. why don't you stop posting your bs. the cost is 1021/yr. not the 6000 the above is for an individual making 20,000 per year with no dependents. take your revolution and get an education instead. the cloesest the US ever got to revolution was the civil war. the US has been an oasis for stability for centuries. get an education before making ridiculous predictions.
I am outside the US but face it, the US healthcare insurance industry and healthcare costs are a big scam, I saw firsthand when in the US how doctors were using Medicare patients as their cash cows. Costs have to be axed across the board and doctors must accept lower incomes. But there was also a need to end the insurance industry practices such as the lifetime limit and denial of coverage, Obamacare fixes that . It forces you to buy coverage in return but does little AFAIK that will be reducing freedom of choice. It gives healthcare to everyone and that 's the way it should be. It won't be perfect and there will be unintended consequences, but for Republicans to want to bring the US to the brink of default for that and scaremonger americans about Obamacare is ridiculous and shameful, especially when you know that they readily sent people to unnecessary wars twice !
Earning $20k and you will be paying less than $100/month with subsidy with no denial of coverage. So you should be fine! You'll just have to cut back on Skittles, bro.
yep. i give up my land line partially for this reason(plus constant telemarketing calls). amount of taxes and fees was GREATER than what phone company was charging for their services
65% of the population makes less than 20K (and that is conservative because most immigrants make ZERO) 85% of the population makes less than 30K yearly less than 30% has a college education so you guys are saying an extra $100-$200 a month wont be a big deal when 95% of the population lives paycheck to paycheck? and what exactly does that money get a person besides getting them registered in the system? it doesnt count deductibles or anything. be prepared for a Revolt.
