Can someone tell me how the subsidies work? Do you get a check every month? Every year? How do you compel people to use the money for insurance? Does it only exists on paper?
For example, the site tells me I get a $100 subsidy on a $400 premium. Do I really get that money? Does the site just tell me to only pay $300?
It’s not their fault, it’s those means Republicans who keep demanding that it actually work. If it wasn’t for them it could have been declared a success two months ago and nobody’d be the wiser. Well.. okay there’d be the people who’d not been able to get a policy, but the ones that complained could have been handled by calling them teabagging racists.
That's all that matters.
What a rich irony that Obamacare has Cloward-Piven-ed itself.
Works just like Amazon! Roflol...
Yeah, right! I have received dozens of packages (most in less than two days & free shipping) and the healthcare crap system hasn’t even work all day for one day yet!
We are eligible, but we are not taking it. I refuse to get on Obama's dole.
It’s more of a subsidy to Insurance on your behalf. Uncle Sam send 100 bucks to Blue Cross, which along with your 300 pays the premium.
When Captain IT told Congress that the “payment mechanisms” hadn’t been built yet, that’s what he was referring to. Right now there’s no way for Uncle Sam to give Blue Cross their 100 bucks.
That’s why people are wondering if they’ll actually have coverage starting Jan 1st. If you send your 300, but that 100 is sent accidentally to Iran, who decides if you’re really covered? The better question is, other than you, does anybody really care?
Here’s hoping that’s a “Forever Stamp”.
I don't know who writes this crap!
By next year the media will have everyone believing that Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz paid hackers to mess up Obama's website and the dems will pick up seats.
“It has gone from being ready on October 1, to being ready by November 30, to being ready for most users by November 30, to “it won’t be perfect”.”
It will be tested and functional the day after the Twelfth of Never.
Isn’t this the time when Alynsky would advise overloading the system with phone calls to make them live up to a standard they can’t abide by. Millions of phone calls, and repeat calls back.
“These are the types of numbers that wave elections are made of.”
I like those odds... but you always have to factor in Tokyo Rove.
Why? Has Mitch threatened to quit.
They'd still have the big O's veto in any event.The Dems are going to need more legislative and monetary fixes. They need control of both houses to do that. This is a disaster for them. The House members are going to run once again on that issue and the GOP will probably get back up to 260 seats. The Senate may not flip but in any case will be much tighter. This may be fun to watch, except for how expensive it will be.
You forgot to mention that this is one of those “forever” stamps.
Hope so! Good post.
You pay $300 to the insurance company, the government pays the other $100 direct to the insurance company.
Indeed!
The real issue isn’t the website, it is the overpricing of the insurance, expecting young people to buy it-they won’t.
