The Effect of Obamacare in Key States~Including Obamacare Tax Increases & Christian Options
In Colorado, Obamacare to Increase Individual Insurance Premiums by 19%, Says Obama Adviser

With the Presidential election one week away, it’s worth reviewing how Obamacare will impact the residents of key swing states. In Colorado, as elsewhere, Obamacare will drive up the cost of private health coverage, especially for those who buy insurance on their own.

One of Obama’s key health-care advisers, Jonathan Gruber, found that by 2016, individual premiums in Colorado will increase by an average of 19 percent. In addition, Obamacare will deeply cut Medicare Advantage for more than 225,000 Colorado seniors enrolled in the program. And 29 percent of Colorado physicians say that they will place new or additional limits on accepting Medicare patients.

In Ohio, Obamacare to Increase Individual Insurance Premiums by 55-85%

By 2017, write the Milliman researchers, “individual health insurance market premiums are estimated to increase by 55% to 85% above current market average rates (excluding the impact of medical inflation).”

Because Obamacare forces insurers to cover a buffet of benefits that they don’t have to today, the cost of insurance will go up. Another driver of higher premiums is the fact that insurers will have to cover everyone, regardless of previous health status, a change that will attract sicker enrollees at the expense of healthier ones.

In Virginia, Obamacare to Cause 23% of Doctors to Stop Accepting Medicare Patients

Last month, the Physicians Foundation published one of the largest physician surveys ever conducted in the United States, with 13,575 respondents. They asked physicians a broad range of questions, including several about their views on Obamacare.

56 percent of Virginia physicians said that the Affordable Care Act made them “less positive about the direction and future of healthcare in America.” Only 19 percent said it made them feel more positive.

If Medicare fees decrease by ten percent or more—as the Affordable Care Act will require—28 percent of doctors in the Old Dominion say that they will place “new or additional limits” on accepting Medicare patients. 23 percent say they’ll stop accepting Medicare patients altogether.

Re: The Effect of Obamacare in Key States~Including Obamacare Tax Increases & Christian Options
Even at a 20% increase, the benefits far outweigh the costs.
It support pre-existing conditions and full coverage.

I don't understand the whining of having complete, guaranteed healthcare.

The Europeans and Canadians like it very much.

Obamacare to cut Medicare by $12,584 per Florida retiree

Survey: 30 percent of Florida doctors to limit their acceptance of Medicare


Individual-market premiums could increase by 19-85 percent

And then there’s Obamacare’s tax increases

Finally, it’s worth touching on Obamacare’s tax increases. From 2013-2022, Obamacare increases taxes by $1.2 trillion, which amounts to $15,796 for the average family of four. Florida’s share of those taxes is approximately $75 billion.

Obamacare’s defenders will claim that many of Obamacare’s taxes fall on corporations and upper-income individuals. But these taxes will get passed down to every American. For example, the law applies an excise tax to health insurance premiums, which insurers will be forced to pass down to individuals in the form of higher premiums. Analysts estimate that this tax could increase premiums by as much as 3 percent, amounting to around $550 for the average Florida family in 2014.

In Wisconsin, Obamacare to Increase Individual Insurance Premiums by 30%, Says Obama Adviser

By 2016, according to Gruber and Gorman, “overall premiums will increase 30% on average” in the individual insurance market. As the table above shows, only 5.5 percent of Wisconsin residents will enjoy lower premiums, whereas the remaining 94.5 percent will face increases. 41 percent of Wisconsinites will face premium increases of 50 percent or more.

Because Obamacare forces insurers to cover a buffet of benefits that they don’t have to today, the cost of insurance will go up. Another driver of higher premiums is the fact that insurers will have to cover everyone, regardless of previous health status, a change that will attract sicker enrollees at the expense of healthier ones.

Obamacare Taxes: How the Changes Will Impact Your Income

In just a couple of months, two tax increases tied to Obamacare will take effect. With the provisions squarely aimed at high-income earners, they're almost certain to polarize the debate over health-care reform even further.

The new taxes are aimed at boosting and extend the reach of Medicare payroll taxes for taxpayers above certain income levels.

Under current law, the government charges a tax of 2.9% on wages and self-employment income. For employees, your employer covers half of that tax, and the other half is withheld automatically from your paycheck.

That rate will soon be raised to 3.8% for single filers who have earnings of more than $200,000. For joint filers, the limit is $250,000. Moreover, the entire additional 0.9% will come out of your pocket.

Obamacare Vs. Christian Options

Obamacare or the Patients Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)has been discussed by the US in the court of public opinion and real courts. It had been much debated but here is the entire law, Feel free to read it, you will be ahead of most lawmakers who voted on it.

This law was approved as legal by the United States Supreme Court in June 2012. So where does that leave the American People? An estimated 6 million people in the US do not buy or have medical insurance. If it was a choice of sending your kids to school or feeding them what would you do? A difficult question. The PPACA provides for penalties to those who do not purchase a medical coverage plans (businesses over 50 and on individuals) approved by the IRS.

Tax penalties assessed by the Internal Revenue Service. Whether you are for or against Obamacare, in doing my research I found a viable and affordable choice for certain groups.

As you might know, religious sects are exempt if they are members of a group that shares medical bills, even if it is not insurance. This was a shocker for me, did you know Christianity is now considered a sect by law? This law. (PPACA) Since I personally do not want to participate in President Obama's (or Hillary Clinton's) health plan for the United States. I chose a plan that allows businesses and individuals to opt out
