--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are welcome! Lucrum I know you do not like Obama, but he try to compromise with waivers for this companys. This is business friendly. Obama really try to compromise with business and health care. If he really the communist he will choke the inusrance company out of the business and not offer the waiver, and leave so many the people with (NO) insurance, and make the people pay y suffer for his revolution. But Obama is for the free market.
No, it's bullshit! The more waivers which are granted, the greater the percentage of sick and pre-existing conditions in the system. For a "universal" healthcare to work, there needs to be LOTS of payers who don't use services to help pay for the ones who do. Nobody with preexisting conditions wants "out".. only those who are well and who don't want to pay. Among other atrocities, the system can't work this way.
The Affordable Health Care Act, AKA ObamaCare does indeed kick in in 2014. The waivers allow companies to avoid paying for more expensive plans now that are required under ObamaCare. It allows them a waiver to keep their less inclusive, lower cost plan in place. The companies and unions claim they would have to layoff employees without the exemption. What will happen to these jobs in 2014 is anybody's guess. The fact is, Obamacare is already killing jobs. http://hotair.com/archives/2011/01/...om-222-to-729-covering-2-2-million-employees/ http://www.hhs.gov/ociio/regulations/patient/ociio_2010-1_20100903_508.pdf
I shall explain for them, what the heck, I am the true representative of the people, same as all Liberals: We liberals are cheapskates that refuse to spend our own money, we prefer to share all the wealth and take as much of it as we can when we get the opportunity. To us, the best government is the one that taxes and regulates others and doesn't tax or regulate us. The true intent of the recent health care bill is to keep Black Voters voting democrat. It will bring their level of healthcare up and bring Whitey's health care down to where parity is achieved for all. We liberals would be a footnote in history were it not for the fact that we can spend Trillions of dollars of Whitey's money to pay Blacks to vote for us...
Oh, my God. You told it like it is. You let the truth leak out. Liberals everywhere will hunt you down and make you recend your comments!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The link pspr show you is saying Obama is giving the waiver to business. Obama is telling the business they do not (temporary) have comply with this: "As set forth in the interim final regulations, the restricted annual limits on the dollar value of essential health benefits cannot be lower than: âh For plan or policy years beginning on or after September 23, 2010 but before September 23, 2011, $750,000; http://www.hhs.gov/ociio/regulations/patient/ociio_2010-1_20100903_508.pdf ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why? Because the exchanges need creation still. "Thus, the goal is for exchanges to be marketplaces where consumers can not only learn about the coverage options that are available and compare price and value, but also can begin to understand how the quality of the care offered by qualified health plans might differ in key ways." Specifically the law provides that: Not less than one year from the date of enactment (thus, by March 23, 2011), the Secretary is required to make awards to states for planning the establishment of an American Health Benefit Exchange. Planning grants will be renewable in states that are ¡§making progress, as determined by the Secretary¡¨ in establishing the Exchange and in implementing the health insurance reforms applicable to insurance sold in the individual and group markets.[11] States that elect to establish Exchanges must complete their operational planning by January 1, 2014.[12] By January 1, 2015, participating states must ¡§ensure¡¨ that their Exchanges are ¡§self-sustaining¡¨ and must permit the Exchange to ¡§charge assessments or user fees to participating health insurance issuers, or to otherwise generate funding¡¨ to support Exchange operations.[13] Participating states must establish American Health Benefit Exchanges, whose purpose is to ¡§facilitate the purchase of qualified health plans¡¨ by individuals. States also must establish Small Business Health Options Programs (known as SHOP Exchanges), whose purpose is to assist qualified small employers (under 100 employees or under 50 employees at state discretion through 2016) in ¡§facilitating¡¨ the enrollment of their employees in ¡§qualified health plans¡¨ offered in a state¡¦s small group market.[14] States may elect to merge their American Health Benefit and SHOP Exchanges into a single exchange, ¡§but only if the exchange has adequate resources to assist such individuals and employers.¡¨[15] The Secretary must, ¡§by regulation, establish criteria for the certification of health plans as qualified health plans¡¨ that may be sold in state Exchanges.[16] The criteria ¡§shall require¡¨ that in order to be certified, plans must:[17] http://healthreformgps.org/resources/health-insurance-exchanges/
That's all pie in the sky. There is no evidence any of this will work. Also, why not exempt ALL corporations, union and anyone else who has employees from the provisions? Exemptions to some (who gave obama big donations) and not to others is not fair and only acceptable to partisan democrats.
