Strictly Street Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-07-22/obamacare-aid-for-plan-buyers-on-u-s-exchange-overturned.html President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul suffered a potentially crippling blow as a U.S. appeals court ruled the government can’t give financial assistance to anyone buying coverage on the insurance marketplace run by federal authorities. The decision, if it withstands appeals, may deprive more than half the people who signed up for Obamacare the tax credits they need to buy a health plan. Hmm...... No opinion on this, don't want to be shouted down by the fanboys. But even so.... interesting article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) I doubt this ruling stands, was already contradicted by the 4th circuit, and faces the full panel of (mostly Democrat appointed) judges later this summer.

Strictly Street Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Nice to know that the fix is in. On the other hand, it is sure to be appealed no matter who wins this round.Nor is this the only suit out there. So we will get to watch the court battles for some time yet. Think I'll just sit back and watch the show.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I thought the federal courts were above the political party bickering. So now I have no confidence in any of the 3 branches of the US Gov't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly Street Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Health care subsidies issue rushed to CourtNine days after two federal appeals courts reached opposite rulings on a major new threat to the federal health care law, challengers pursuing that threat rushed to the Supreme Court on Thursday with a plea to step in and settle the dispute as soon as possible. A petition for review was filed in a case from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which had rejected the challenge on July 22. That conflicted directly with a ruling on the same day by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (see this earlier post.) At issue in the new case of King v. Burwell is whether government tax subsidies that have enabled millions of lower-income Americans to afford to sign up for individual health care coverage are illegal because they were granted for use on insurance marketplaces set up by the federal government. Those exchanges are functioning in thirty-sxi states. If those subsidies are now declared to be available only in the fourteen states that have created their own exchanges at the state government level, it is widely understood that this could cause the collapse of the entire economic edifice of the new health care law. The number of customers getting insurance on exchanges in so few states, and the essential role the subsidies play in the overall scheme, apparently would mean that the pool of purchasers would be far too small to support the ACA nationwide, as it is now crafted.

Gump Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Additional health insurance costs for a business. Based on a company paying 80% of the health care costs for around 70 people. 20% increase 7-2013 and recently another 5%. Dental went up 4% and 4%. It's not getting les expensive that's for sure. Are the increases directly related to ACA, not entirely. But it has not helped any and I like to get my pokes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Obama can suck it. 60% increase this year equating to a $300,000 increase for a mid sized business. Insurance now must cover:Same sex marriages Pre-approval required for genetic testingSmoking and cessation aidsCover Dependents to age 26Employees over 30hrs/week.Other factors for increase:Prescriptions up 9.7% yet inflationa flat. Generics are raising there pricesAging employeesOlder hiresPast claims amountsWhy in the world should dependents over 18 be able to be on their parents insurance AND their employers insurance?So if you understand what hikes your rates I guess you'd hire young males and fire the old.
