ObamaCare (ACA) Forces Families Out of Coverage

More bad news for families as a result of ObamaCare, but then the progressives really didn't consider what the problems might be for citizens when they cankered up this 2700 page nightmare they call sustainable health care. Families could have to pay more then $20,000 a year for health care even under the ACA plan. 

The entire Affordable Care Act (ACA) from the Obama administration is designed to reduce personal freedom and replace it with unsustainable dependency on government. There is no way the system, as the socialist have designed it, bringing in 30 million new recipients, can be paid for from new taxes as the new costs will be more then a trillion dollars. 

In reality, the ACA was only intended for the short term, bring as many individuals into the system as quickly as possible and then allow the system to collapse. Result, total control of  the entire population. No money and no health care.

This incredible disaster, that the progressive socialists see as affordable health care for everyone, is more managed news for the 'low inforamation' voter. The agenda is to keep the majority of the population ignorant and voting for more free stuff, and that this can not be financially sustained never enters the conservation.

But when the floor drops out from underneath the ignorant and slow witted, they will lift their collective heads from their IPads and IPhones, look around and ask 'what happened?' dah!

Some Families to Be Priced out of Health Overhaul

Some families could get priced out of health insurance due to what's being called a glitch in President Barack Obama's overhaul law. IRS regulations issued Wednesday failed to fix the problem as liberal backers of the president's plan had hoped, says the Associated Press.

As a result, some families that can't afford the employer coverage that they are offered on the job will not be able to get financial assistance from the government to buy private health insurance on their own. How many people will be affected is unclear.

• Bruce Lesley, president of First Focus, an advocacy group for children, cited estimates that close to 500,000 children could remain uninsured because of the glitch.
• The problem seems to be the way the law defines affordable.

Congress says affordable coverage can't cost more than 9.5 percent of family income. People with coverage the law considers affordable cannot get subsidies to go into the new insurance markets. The purpose of that restriction is to prevent a stampede away from employer coverage.
Congress went on to say that what counts as affordable is keyed to the cost of self-only coverage offered to an individual worker, not his or her family.

• A typical workplace plan costs about $5,600 for an individual worker.
• But the cost of family coverage is nearly three times higher, about $15,700, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

So if the employer isn't willing to chip in for family premiums -- as most big companies already do -- some families will be out of luck. They may not be able to afford the full premium on their own, and they'd be locked out of the subsidies in the health care overhaul law.
