Obamacare Leaves Doctors On the Hook for DeadbeatsTucked inside nearly 11,000 pages of the Affordable Care Act is a little-known provision that doles out three months of free health care to individuals who choose to default on their premiums.People who receive the federal subsidy to be part of Obamacare will be allowed to incur a three-month “grace period†if they can’t pay their premiums and then simply cancel their policies, stiffing the doctors and hospitals.Their only repercussion is that they have to wait until the following year’s open enrollment if they want coverage on the exchange.“It will help break the system,†said Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, one of a core group of Republicans who oppose Obamacare. “This is a huge piece of evidence to show this can’t work, you will break the system and bankrupt people involved.
I read somewhere they will be fining charity clinics $50,000 if they offer free medical care.

Obamacare’s Perilous Protection Plan for DebtorsThe Affordable Care Act created a 90-day grace period before insurers can drop patients who fall behind on premiums. So, delinquents who obtain tax-subsidized health insurance through an Obamacare health insurance exchange have three months to settle up their bills prior to their policy being canceled. As written, the law puts insurers on the hook for the grace period.But the bureaucrats at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services decided to issue a rule in March making insurers responsible only for paying claims during the first 30 days of the debtors’ grace period. Who’s on the hook for the other two months? Well, customers are entrusted to foot the bills for additional services. But if they blow off the payments, it’s up to physicians and hospitals to collect.As MHA officials put it: “We also are very concerned that some disreputable individuals will learn they can manipulate the system and win a full year’s insurance coverage on only nine months of premiums. Knowing they are entitled to three months of grace period coverage, dishonest persons could stop paying premiums on the ninth month, enjoy free coverage during the 90-day grace period, have their coverage terminated, and then re-enter the exchange market where the Affordable Care Act’s guaranteed issue mandate would prohibit another plan from denying them coverage.â€Think such nefarious behavior won’t occur? Then you haven’t been paying attention to the data manipulators and con artists in the Obamacare navigator program. As I reported earlier this year, the seedy nonprofit Seedco secured multimillion-dollar navigator contracts in Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee and New York to recruit Obamacare recipients into the government-run exchanges — despite settling a civil fraud lawsuit for faking at least 1,400 of 6,500 job placements under a $22.2 million federally funded contract with New York City a year ago.
