The thing is, Americans should stop sending jobs overseas.
That is the BIG issue.
We wouldn’t have any issue with healthcare, if everyone was working. The big problem right now in America is that so many people are not working, because their jobs are now being done in China.
America needs to rebuild, and bring back American jobs, right here to America.
Why aren't they enrolling? Industry analyst Robert Laszewski crunched numbers and finds that for many, ObamaCare remains a pretty lousy deal. On his blog he notes, for example, that a family earning 253% of the poverty level would get an average of $3,534 in subsidies this year. But they'd still owe $4,934 in premiums for a Silver plan with a $2,700 deductible.
"How many families making $60,000 have an extra $4,934 in their budget for a policy that will likely pay them almost nothing?" If that family decides to pay the penalty, it would cost them a much lower $975, according to the Tax Policy Center.
They're taking their chances and deferring payment on the penalty. Most don't have the spare $975, never mind the five grand.
Healthshare programs are alternatives to Obamacare.
In the case of Vermont I know people that never even got their insurance card last year. All paid up but no card ever sent. Small wonder they would not re-enroll.
