Obama Slaps States That Don't Comply With Obamacare

Residents of states that refuse to set up health insurance exchanges under Obamacare are set to be hit with higher premiums under new rules announced by the Health and Human Services Department.

Insurance companies will be charged 3.5 percent of any premiums they sell through the federal exchanges, the department announced Friday. And insurers are likely to pass that surcharge on to clients, leaading to higher premiums.

The only states to be affected are those that refuse to set up their own exchanges because of opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They are almost certain to be those under Republican control. In those states, HHS will set up the exchanges. …

Yep. Here we go. The bastard is three weeks out of the election and now he is "going to lay down the law."

“It is important to keep in mind that any new fees to pay for the administration of exchanges will add to the cost of coverage, and that is why the focus needs to be on reducing administrative costs, streamlining operations, and avoiding regulatory duplication that will add complexity and increase costs," America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) said in a statement on the new rules.

Yea right, little bammy's administration is going to "streamlining operations, and avoiding regulatory duplication" ???

It is unlikely that the mentally defective lunatics that comprise his "administration" will even be able to get it off the ground at all.

But he will damn sure demand more and more money.

The "unlimited debt ceiling" demand suddenly becomes quite clear.

There are consequences to over reaching your imagined authority.

" Someone get some dirt on this bastard."

You can't be serious. There is plenty of dirt on this "Bastard". No one will report it or believe it. I am starting to think the only way this calamity could happen in the US is due to some dark unseen forces of the universe beyond our control or understanding.

Hey, you just have to be “friends” of Bath-House Barry to be “let off the hook”.

Seems to me that this will soon be removed by President Obama. This is a tax on the lower-middle class and those who cannot get health insurance otherwise. The rich will get their insurance through work, the upper-middle class will get their insurance through work, the middle-middle class (for the most part) will get their insurance through work, the poor will get their insurance through Medicaid. That will only leave those who are not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid, who don't get health insurance through work and who don't have enough money to pay for their own health care on the open market. This is a 3.5% tax on the not-quite poor.

As soon as the press gets hold of this, they will run story after story of struggling families with children who have pre-existing conditions, so they can't afford health insurance and medicine. Just wait - - - oh, right, it's Obama. Nevermind.

I am a health insurance agent.

Is there ANY law which states that all insurance MUST be purchased through an “exchange”?

I am not aware of any such language in Obamacare.

There has been plenty of dirt on this not-so-longer-closet-Muslim-usurper — the problem is we have reached a tipping point for stupid voters — we have more wanting “free stuff” — even if they could do better by having a decent economy that provides JOBS so they don’t need “free stuff.” It does not help in the least having evil “reporters” who refuse to cover news topics? Fast and Furious? *crickets* Benghazi? *ain’t no big thang* Nixon? Hang him for a 3rd rate burglary it’s not clear that he ordered. No one died at Watergate and he was forced out — this SOB isn’t even American, and he’s gotten an affirmative action pass his whole life. He is a vindictive, evil, SOB.

Said thug tactics are now in zombie mode, having expired but refusing to stop walking. Or it’s like superheated water in the microwave, above 212 degrees F but waiting for a jostle to begin boiling.

The Federal exchange thingy is winging it. Dunno about the rest. Do you work for a company that has gurus dedicated to such affairs? Or do you free lance?

I am a CFP specializing in the Medicare Market, and an insurance broker.

I think the insurance companies are rather shy about publishing their legal opinions right now.

You’d think that if he really believed this supra-legal Federal exchange even had a basis in law to exist, he’d want to use it to draw the flies with honey, not vinegar.

Just a few days ago, I heard our Governor remark that the administration was ignoring the state officials responsible for crafting the healthcare programs. He elaborated on it; then said “it’s not right”. I don’t know what’s happened since. The “Obamafines” are a hoot.

If not now....it will be. They change anything they need to change to get what they want.

We have been taken over and are under a dictatorship. The constitution is no more...why, because we have no one to stand up for us citizens.

Welcome to Hussein’s world.
