Re: Obamacare vs Math
. . . a law intended to expand coverage will to some extent do exactly the opposite.

. . . young Americans are exceedingly rational. If premiums rise 10 percent, 7 percent of those polled would pay the penalty, but then turn around and buy insurance (as the law dictates they must be permitted to do) if they got sick. The fraction rises to 11 percent and 20 percent for the larger premium hikes, respectively.

Choosing the penalty over insurance, or conveniently buying insurance (from the ambulance) just when it is needed, has been caricatured as responses only dreamed up by opponents of Obamacare. Not so, as it turns out. While the respondents are price-conscious consumers, they are not anti-Obamacare.

The article's author is the former director of the Congressional Budget Office.

and the one big thing that obamacare was supposed to take care of, PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS has been removed from the plan.

The whole thing is a damn sham to get more power for that dreaded agency THE IRS. Does anyone really feel comfortable with the IRS having your most intimate facts about you????

This is my latest "health" care plan.

I'll take the penalty and if/when I get sick, I'll phone in to get insurance.

I am almost certain a new type of "insurance" will pop up from this BS.

A month to month health coverage. I will bet many people buy a policy the month before they file income taxes, file taxes and then let it expire.

Insurance should be just that - Insurance for unforeseen catastrophic injuries or disease.
Everything else you should go to the doctor and pay out of pocket. Including having a baby.

In the 1960s, the Canadian government adopted a government administered health care system – covering all citizens through tax levies. The entire system is now in crisis. The “father” of Canadian health care is Claude Castonguay. The program was implemented based on his advise and recommendations. Now he warns it’s a failure and says it needs to be returned to the private sector so “people can exercise freedom of choice”.

 Quoting: Quack


wont be possible, in order to purchase a plan that will cover your pre-existing conditions, you will have to buy it through the State Exchanges and that will have an open enrollment once a year for a few weeks. so when u get sick, be prepared to wait for up to a year before you can purchase a plan

Re: Obamacare vs Math
People buy insurance to pay for low-probability, high-cost and undesirable events. It doesn't make sense to hold onto enough cash to replace your house if it burns when you can buy an insurance policy that will cover that unlikely disaster.

But Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has a different idea of what insurance is.

In response to an American Society of Actuaries report that health insurance premiums would rise 32 percent under Obamacare, she said, "Some of these folks have very high catastrophic plans that don't pay for anything unless you get hit by a bus."

Her idea apparently is that insurance should pay for just about every health care procedure.

In her defense, the World War II decision to make the cost of health insurance deductible for employers and nontaxable for employees has moved things in that direction. Many people have come to expect that.

But as the Daily Beast's Megan McArdle commented, "Coverage of routine, predictable services is not insurance at all; it's a spectacularly inefficient prepayment plan."

Some Obamacare architects, including its namesake, want to move toward a single-payer system in which government would pay all health care costs.

Many Obamacare opponents want a bigger role for markets, allowing consumers to choose insurance that covers catastrophes and paying for routine costs with tax-free (and in some cases subsidized) dollars.

But if large numbers of employees are enrolled in "skinny" health insurance plans, as the Wall Street Journal article suggests, Obamacare will have produced an unanticipated outcome no one wants.

People stuck with these policies will have insurance that pays for the equivalent of oil changes (up to six a year!) but not for the equivalent of a wrecked car. Just the opposite of real insurance.

Socialism is not in the least what it pretends to be. It is not the pioneer of a better and finer world, but the spoiler of what thousands of years of civilization have created. It does not build, it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it. It produces nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private ownership in the means of production has created.

– Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher
