That might work for a young person with a small income, but I think the real fine is $95 or 1% of income, which ever is more. But it's supposed to go up.  By the time Obama leaves office, the fines are going to be a whole lot higher than 1%.








From everything I've read, the penalties tend to stay in the $100s of dollars while the premiums are regularly in the $1000s.  Even at $50,000 income, when subsidies aren't available anymore, unless the penalties skyrocket quickly, it's going to be cheaper to pay the penalty for some time.  Long enough to kill this mess?  Hopefully.

Can someone here with facebook read these comments on Obamacare?

A sample from just one thread:

My insurance premium will go from $219 per month to $571 per month and my out of pocket will increase by $4650. Great affordable health care?? Not

This is a joke. My daughter, a mother of 3, her premium is more a month than her house payment. So what does she do, pay for insurance monthly and lose the house? Or take the fine and pay the house payment? Or pay both but have no food on the table, utilities not paid and shut off, winter is coming and no money to buy propane? Car insurance doesnt get paid nor house insurance. Oh and how about when she cannot pay the property taxes, they take the house anyway?? You call this program HELPFUL for "THE PEOPLE"??? What a flippen joke!!

Tara L Hughes
This is bullshit!!! they are gonna take almost all of my paycheck for me and my kids to have insurance i cant afford that! the government doesn't ever have to worry about any of this because they actually have tons of money they don't have to worry how there gonna feed there kids there next meal or pay there next bill they sleep at peace every night without a worry in the world. well guess what welcome to the real world where we have to worry about every thing all the time!!!!!!! the least yall could do is let us keep our medical through the county

Beth Beveridge Obama care aint what everyone thinks it is. Ive read through it and it is by no means low cost! It is the same cost as any other insurance. Some people have jobs and can still barely afford to feed their families! And to LEE ELKINS trashing someone

The paid Obinga shills are getting spanked, big time.   :rofl:

The comments section is :lmao:

If you can't handle people just signing up for it.. How the hell do you expect to constantly deal with the claims?

Quote
Mr. Obama, tear down this website!
:lmao:

Quote
$605 a month for my family and a $4500 deductible is RIDICULOUS!! I pay less than that a YEAR in healthcare and now you're trying to force me to pay that a month?! Lol! It's not going to happen. Ever.

Quote
I was shocked by the prices but further shocked by the crappy benefits. I would be inclined to double my current payments if I was getting better benefits. Wait til the first time signers see what is NOT covered whenever they think they have "free" coverage. How many bankruptcies will result from this?

Quote
going up $400 a month and that includes $94 in taxes!! Plus my co/pay will go from 20% to 40%!!! WTF!!!!

Quote
Stop lying! You known darn well your insurance didn't go up 400 a month. Ridiculous!

Quote
Angel, you are a fool. Mine went up 550 a month. These stories are everywhere. Stop drinking the Koolaid for a moment and educate yourself.

Quote
Angel is a paid troll.

Quote
YOU people complaining? Well you got what you deserved when you reelected obama. Maybe you'll keep these outrageous premiums and deductibles in mind when you vote in 2014 and 2016.

Quote
WTF?? I thought Obamacare was supposed to be FREE! I discovered that it will cost me MORE money than my current plan for LESS coverage! I'm disabled and my current plan costs $398 a month. It pays 100% after I pay $1500 a year out of pocket. Obamacare will cost me $759 and I STIIL have to pay 80% of all charges....and I have a lot of cherges. This is a complete SCAM!

Quote
So, curiosity got the better of me. I wanted to see what O'care would cost compared to what I have now. NO COMPARISON! I was looking for a plan comparable to what I have (apples to apples) and you can't get it. The lowest out of pocket yearly deductible with BCBS (what I have now) is 4K per individual per year/8K per family. The premium is a little more than 3 times what I pay now with higher co-pays and less Doctor choices. Um, no! I hate that there are 30M uninsured people out there. I'm sure that's a horrible position to be in if you have no health issues. At the same time, I think it's horrible that working people are being laid off, having their hours cut, or losing the insurance they've had forever. This is a HUGE re-distribution of working middle class American's income, not to mention insurance. At what point do the hard working middle class(NOT saying others don't work hard) say enough? If I had to pay 3X for less coverage than what I've got, the house payment would be out the window, my family would live less that week to week, forget ever saving for retirement, and I wouldn't be able to pay for the college expenses for my daughters'. What would I tell them? "I'm sorry, we can't pay for you to go to college because we are paying $1903 a month for our healthcare so that others can be covered." And don't even get me started on not qualifying for any subsidies. The government could have fixed the "uninsured" issue without totally screwing those that had insurance by expanding Medicaid, a tax, SOMETHING! The fallout, unfortunately, will be MUCH worse than 30M uninsured. I'll end with this.....the American people have no problem paying a tad more so that Senior Citizens or the TRULY disabled have good coverage. What most have an issue with is having to fund those that fall into those 2 categories while their kids are having to do without what our income could provide for. It's ALL about personal responsibility UNLESS personal responsibility isn't the issue!

Quote
I am so disappointed. These prices are outrageous and there are huge deductibles. No one can afford this!

Quote
So I just received my 2014 coverage and costs from by health care provider. They informed me that they have transitioned my current coverage that I have had for the past 4 years to a comparable ACA certified coverage plan. My MONTHLY premium went up by $200.00 and my coverage out of pockets costs increased by 30%. So answer me this, how is this a "Affordable Health Care Act"? I can now no longer afford my health insurance premium for my family and do not qualify for assistance based on the guidelines. I compared my new rate to the ones on the Marketplace and they are the same or higher, so that is not an option either. I feel like my government has again lied and cheated me into a corner - now what?

We've been saying this all along.  It's simply mathematically impossible.  There's only so much in the checkbook.  All that stuff people are saying up there, I pointed out to my idiot congresscreep.  No answer.  

It's very easy for them to live off $174,500, with their healthcare pretty much free.  And, they get insider-trading enhanced investments.  

We all bought houses and undertook mortgages, car payments, and 401K contributions with the assumption that the family budget would remain stable.  An extra $10K+ simply doesn't materialize.  

I think massive civil disobedience is the only recourse.  Has one policy been sold and paid for yet?  How about those obama cheerleaders in the facebook comments?  Did they pony up their $$$ yet?

You know, not one damn person considered for a moment in this age of insurance being an entitlement rather then what it is: a benefit provided by employers, that wages have not kept pace because included in those 'wages' was the BENEFIT of insurance ie at somepoint many employers in lieu of a certain amount of wages provided certain benefits instead. So now dummies, you get to pay for what was once a benefit with those after benefit wages since not one person got a wage increase to account for this benefit that is no longer being provided.

In the meantime the 'poor' end up better off for nothing and the middle class do worse then the mooching class while still have to log in their 40 hours or more a week. Nice!

this is much the same objection I have with artificially raising the minimum wage; what is the point of someone right out of college at an entry level position taking that position when they can work student loan free for the same flipping burgers? Wages will not go up as a percentage for everyone else so raising the minimum wage essentially lowers everyone else's wages by default or least the spending power and value of the dollars they make unless the person now making 15 bucks an hour was to get the same 90% increase fast food works(for example) wanted.

Wait until the LIV/NIVs try to use their insurance and have to wait weeks to see a GP and months to see a specialist.

in all my years of working and running companies I have never seen an organization become more efficient by adding an extra layer of management. Particularly if that extra layer is unionized and can't lose their jobs for lack of output or incompetence. I've also never seen the price of a product go down when a 3% tax is added to the raw materials.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'm not so sure. In addition to huge premium increases, these plans have enormous deductibles and co-pays.

They seem more like catastrophic coverage. If DUmmies have to pay thousands out of pocket before the policy pays a dime, they're not going to flock into doctors' offices any more than they do now.

Healthcare is shitty in socialist countries like Canada, Cuba, and Britain because everything is "free" all the time.
