Sticker Shock Often Follows Insurance Cancellation

Barack Obama is the AntiChrist, and Democrats are his loyal Demons.

The frightening thing is that you are wrong. Obama is pure evil and hates America and Americans with a passion that is incomprehensible, but the AntiChrist will not be lazy or stupid. Some day, we or our children will face someone just as evil but far more intelligent and energetic. Our best hope during this crisis is that Obama is not energetic enough to follow through consistently on his malice. The next time around will be even worse.

How true! Just one of Obama's dirty little secrets! The press allows them to talk about subsidies as if they are paid for with "magic beans, not hard earned wages of people who go to work every day! Democrats give examples of individuals who will benefit from the ACA because their premiums will be cheaper. The first question should be how much the taxpayer is paying for that premium. Don't let them get away with saying a young guy will now pay "$50 for insurance"! Ask, "$50 + subsidy = what?

Stop allowing Democrats to represent the ACA as so generous and heart warming! Make them admit that it's good for some and brutal for others. The biggest problem is it demonizes the very portion of society that is contributing to the economy - the working class!

In the past, consumers could get relatively inexpensive, bare-bones coverage, but those plans will no longer be available.

When they were campaigning for the law, they demonized "bare bones", or "catastrophic" coverage, accusing insurance companies of dirty dealing by offering it! Now, the very plans they are offering people under Obamacare are "bare-bones, catastrophic plans", that may cover more stuff, but only after a person has spent a large amount of money to qualify for reimbursement.

I can’t imagine any of the sheeple reading the WSJ. They get their “news” from TMZ and Facebook

95% of enrollees eligible for the “subsidy” (aka your and my tax money being redistributed on their behalf to insurance companies) will take it up front.

That’s my prediction.

Someone posted te actual wording of the law later on in the thread. Apparently, the law provides for either method of payment of the subsidy. The Feds prefer the income tax rebate method because if the insured makes more than he claims, there is no mechanism to collect the money.

Also, in the article that I read, they said that deductible portion of the costs, if not paid to the doctors, would be deducted from the subsidy rebate from the IRS.

Interesting, thanks for consolidating the bits I had read in the thread.

The infantilization of society marches on.
