One Quarter Of Uninsured Americans Will Pay Fine Rather Than Get Obamacare

The fines for being uninsured start at $95 for an individual in 2014, or 1 percent of household income if that’s higher. Many may be unaware that those figures are expected to quickly escalate to $695 annually by 2016, or 2.5 percent of household income...


Ten states where Obamacare wipes out health care plans | The Daily Caller

President Barack Obama famously promised, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.” He later got even more specific.

“If you are among the hundreds of millions of Americans who already have health insurance through your job, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or the VA, nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have,” Obama said.

But as Obamacare’s rollout approaches, we have learned this is not true. Here are the ten states where consumers may like their health care plans, but they won’t be able to keep them...

Obamacare Call Center Makes Workers Go Without Health Insurance | FrontPage Magazine

‘I know you were led to believe you would be full-time, but things have changed. . . . You are actually ‘part-time intermittent.'

A lot of businesses are changing full-time jobs into part-time jobs because of Obamacare. It’s tragic for the workers involved, but it’s just another example of how government intervention destroys jobs.

Company with $1.2 billion Obamacare contract under investigation for ‘serious fraud’

Obamacare contractor faces overbilling claims

A British multinational being paid $1.2 billion to implement Obamacare’s federal insurance exchanges is under investigation after allegedly overcharging the British government by tens of millions of dollars.

Reuters reports that Britain’s Serious Fraud Office is now looking into Serco, a massive service and security firm employing 120,000 worldwide, after the company reportedly overbilled its government client as much as $80 million for criminal electronic monitoring devices.

Around one in six of the criminals listed were already in prison, had left the country, were not required to wear a device, or were even dead.

The alleged fraud prompted an audit from the U.K.’s Ministry of Justice earlier this summer. Late last week, the ministry sent information from that audit to the Serious Fraud Office, asking that it consider a criminal case against the company.

In early July, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) granted Serco a $1.25 billion contract to review and process paper insurance applications for Obamacare’s 34 federally-operated state exchanges. News of the investigation broke days later, and the Obama administration rushed to defend its corporate partner.

“Serco is a highly-skilled company that has a proven track record in providing cost-effective services to numerous other federal agencies,” said a spokesman for HHS’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency charged with implementing the exchanges.

“The selection met all of the requirements for a full and open competition,” he continued, “and the timing enables us to be ready for marketplace open enrollment starting on October 1.”

Alan Hill, the spokesman for Serco’s American subsidiary, told The Washington Post in July that a “firewall” existed between the American and British wings of the company. “When a foreign entity is involved, I think that means that U.S. interests are protected,” he said.

The firm has already hired hundreds of new employees to fill Obamacare processing centers in Missouri, Arkansas and Kentucky. The Missouri office alone filled 600 new jobs in the last week in preparation for the individual exchange roll-out scheduled for Tuesday.
 
Last June, Sussex Country Delware realized they would have to pay $300,000 a year in taxes or fines, because the health care they were providing for county employees was BETTER than Obamacare. They could not meet the burden. They proposed the Delaware Legislature raise the income tax 2.5% to pay for free health care for everyone in the state. I have not heard anymore about this since.

Is my memory faulty? Didn't Obama beat Hillary in the first election partially on the promise that he would never have a tax on those for people who did not want health care? I know for a fact that the health care bill that he promised would always be available on his website, was missing for well over a month, when I first heard of this tax and tried to check it. Oh, wait a minute, this wasn't a tax, as I recall, that's how the bill was able to be passed (because otherwise it violates the constitution that Congress may not tax individuals, except for the income tax which required a special amendment). But then, when the Supreme court allowed it to stand, it was partially because the government attorneys pleading the case called it a tax. Or is my memory just faulty.

This is extremely important. If I trust God to heal me, I must pay a tax for doing so.

While Obamacare Fails to Provide Dental Coverage, 32 Dental Travel Takes a Bite Out of The Issue With Dental Tourism to Costa Rica

No matter where your personal views, thoughts and feelings fall on the issue of Obamacare and what it means for healthcare coverage in the United States next year, no one is arguing the fact that there is a gaping hole in dental coverage with the new law. This is because the Healthcare Reform Act does not provide coverage for any of the more than 135 million uninsured Americans who are in need of dental care. And according to a recent article released in The Wall Street Journal Market Watch on July 13th, 2013, “While more Americans will likely gain access to medical care when the law goes into effect next year, the number that can afford a visit to the dentist for a filling, root canal or checkup may actually decrease.” So what will American citizens do when they are in need of a dental procedure? 32 Dental Travel, a dental tourism company may very well have the best solution.

32 Dental Travel saves their patients an average of 75% off the cost of their dental procedures by having them performed in the beautiful, peaceful country of Costa Rica, whose healthcare system is actually ranked ahead of the United States; additionally they allow their patients to vacation at the same time. 32 Dental Travel is headquartered in Carmel, Indiana and they have an entirely patient-centered approach, as they work only with American accredited ambulatory surgery facilities and dental facilities to ensure the best possible quality for their patients, but at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, 32 Dental Travel works with only doctors who are specialists within their prospective fields of dentistry, so their patients will never have a doctor treating them for something they have not received specialized training for in the United States. As stated earlier, the average savings for 32 Dental Travel patients is 75%, when compared to the cost of the same procedure with the exact same materials in the United States and this includes the cost of the flight and lodging in tropical Costa Rica. This allows even uninsured patients to obtain the care they need without having to worry about refinancing their home and it provides patients some much needed R&R.

So how popular is dental tourism in Costa Rica? According to PROMED which is Costa Rica’s Council for Promotion of Costa Rican Medicine, there were 48,000 North Americans that traveled to Costa Rica last year for healthcare procedures, over 40% of which were for dental procedures, so roughly 20,000 dental patients traveled to Costa Rica for their treatments in 2012 alone. This number is expected to reach nearly 40,000 dental patients in 2013 and grow exponentially each year thereafter, as Obamacare takes full effect in 2014. With no answer from Obamacare for the 1/3 Americans without dental coverage, it appears dental patients will be packing their swim suits, flip flops and sunscreen as they head south to Costa Rica with companies like 32 Dental Travel to obtain the care they need.

:D
 
1. If having healthcare is a choice, why make it a law?
2. Since Medicaid does not cover all things such as ER/Hospital Room stays, surgeries, Dental work such as root canals, fillings, deep cleanings, braces, etc., how are the people who are on Medicaid going to pay for all of this?
3. There are people out here who do not have jobs, and possibly don't qualify for medicaid. How are the people going to pay for healthcare and that stupid healthcare fine if not insured?

I do not get it. This would make anyone move to another country. I'm sorry, but I don't think that this Obamacare thing would work out.
 
I'm sorry i'm not even an american, but i got to this thread, and recall a vid telling serco the british co. getting the contract for obamacare...

Sorry if u dont care for it. I was in fact looking at the threads below, but they were too old and thought it was better to hear from others more recently. I only chose the most recent on obamacare.
 
Obamacare is a scam. It makes health care more expensive only to fine those who can't afford it
 
this is the power of political lobbyist. 20 yrs ago the idea of the usa, the land of freedom and democracy, forcing poor people against their will to buy health insurance, this idea would have been crazy.
our government is completely corrupt.
