Here is some “Ace Wisdom”! Obamacare is going to cost you a lot of money.
The long range goal of Obamacare is to get everyone on a national healthcare plan. Goodbye choices. Goodbye quality. Hello imposed costs (sometimes disguised as taxes or assessments).
In the meantime, Obamacare is on an imposed implementation schedule of new requirements, raising costs to all of us. It is like “Chinese Water Torture”. Slow and painful.
The “Affordable Care Act” (Obamacare) kicks up the costs later this year. Insurance companies will have to accept everyone who applies, regardless of condition (guaranteed). Yep, insurance companies will raise rates. Implied is that insurance companies can not charge more for serious medical conditions (guaranteed). There will also be coverage mandates that will force up costs. Anyone who does not have health insurance will be forced to pay a penality (tax) for being exposed.
Watch for the clues. Employers will start dropping full time employees in favor of part-time employees to avoid providing medical coverage. Or, “deductible” requirements will increase dramatically. Private insurance companies could double premiums. Doctors will start (continue) refusing more insurance coverages. You get the idea. Lots and lots of price/cost increases.
My disappointment is that all the “jerks” (I had to restrain myself) in Washington D.C. who passed the new healthcare laws aren’t mandated to use the same national mandated healthcare system. They are privledged to enjoy a “good” healthcare benefit.
I don’t even know how to tell you to stop the hellish healthcare system coming “down the track”. Ultimately we need smarter, dedicated elected officials who really care about us. Yeah, right.
