You either have a great memory or spent some time to look that up. I wrote that a while back. I spoke to an insurance broker the other day and plans are already popping up that cover people with pre-existing conditions for reasonable prices. The catch is that benefits are capped at very low amounts. For example, there is a $6,000 for any surgery. That's quite funny because open heart surgery costs about $50,000. If you get cancer the treatment is capped at $10k. Shit, one infusion of rituxan costs $7k. You're better off paying the fine and going to a county hospital if you have one. The Obama plan hasn't solved anything for the middle class. If you get laid off you have to buy insurance but what are you going to buy insurance with. You're laid off for Christ's sake. You ain't got no money to buy insurance. I'm gonna be real curious to see what assistance the government is going to extend to people in this kind of situation. Lord knows, there are plenty right now. I still believe this health care bill will fail miserably and we'll convert to a single payer health plan and massive taxes to pay for it. The Brits have to pay a tax to park in the street and another to watch TV. They tried to pass a tax based on how many windows you had in your house so people started bricking up their windows. The US is quickly converting to a police state. I fear for the next generation. It's going to be like living in Germany post WWI
Very interesting article. This is the big one: <i>Lesson 4: The exchanges reward people for working less and earning less.</i> There are two major things people need. A house and health insurance. Right now you can't have both but with new legislation coming down the pipe you probably can but you have to produce as little as you can to qualify for the cheap/free plans.
If this passses there will a justifiable reason to expatriate in addition to other nonsesnse that goes on. Akuma
Obama has issued 222 Obamcacare waivers to various companies and unions. So the law, that was suppose to solve all our economic and health costs woes, is so good that one needs to be exempt from it to survive economically.
