ObamaCare PPACA First Step to Total Control

As this article points out, many people will 'game' the system causing it to fail to provide adequate health care, not only for the new intranets, but also for everyone that had good health care in the past under the private health care system.

Of course, again, it's not really about providing good health care, it's about establishing a power base to demand control of everything that the population wants to do. If the government can demand you have to buy a form of health care or be fined under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, they can demand you buy an electric car or how much you can travel and where. It's bad for your health to travel places deemed by the government as risky. Really?

Take a minute and give this some thought - every aspect of your life will have a price tag on it set by someone else. If you don't want to pay the price, you pay a fine and or go to jail. How long then before the government decides some in society are enemies of the state and take steps to eliminated the threat.

It's the new America according to the progressive liberal left agenda.

Importance of the Individual Mandate to the Health Reform Law

The individual mandate will be a primary topic of discussion when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) comes before the Supreme Court. Long recognized as one of the 2010 health care law's most controversial provisions, the mandate requires the purchase of health insurance, imposing a tax penalty for those who don't participate, says U.S. News & World Report.

The law can be carried out even if the individual mandate is struck down. But John C. Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, emphasizes that even if the law is found to be entirely constitutional, it will still face a number of practical obstacles that will limit its effectiveness.

Goodman's analysis of figures from the Congressional Budget Office suggest that though they vary by region and age, typical insurance premiums in 2016 will average about $5,800 for an individual and $15,200 for a family of four.

Meanwhile, according to the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, fines for noncompliance will amount to $695 for individuals and $2,085, or 2.5 percent of total taxable income for families.
Essentially, the current system will likely fail to achieve the broad participation among the nation's young and healthy that it hopes to.

Goodman also identifies an additional problem with the current scheme of premiums and fines: it offers a substantial opportunity to game the system. The disparity between the fines and premiums will encourage people to wait until they're sick to buy insurance and cancel it when they're well, causing costs to skyrocket.
