However, if somebody does not want to purchase health insurance, that's their business. They will then have to pay the cost of their care accordng to their means. Bill Gates pays full cost. Homeless Jane pays zilch.

Originally posted by joecct View PostNo no no! Treat the two as 2 separate incidences. Currently opt out is a current option and if you do, you pay what you can afford. Homeless Jane would get the same amount of care as Bill Gates, only Jane would pay zilch and Bill would be full pay.

Re: The PPACA Thread Part VI: Tax Cuts Are More Important Than Your Health Care!
Two of Virginia’s ObamaCare insurers are requesting significant premium hikes for 2019, according to initial filings released Friday.
Both Cigna and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield cited policies advocated by the Trump administration, including the repeal of ObamaCare’s individual mandate, as part of its justifications for the increases.

Re: The PPACA Thread Part VI: Tax Cuts Are More Important Than Your Health Care!
Got told last week I was an idiot for even considering this newsworthy. After all, all of this is nothing.
http://www.startribune.com/justice-d...ons/484932271/
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration's decision to stop defending in court the Obama health law's popular protections for consumers with pre-existing conditions could prove risky for Republicans in the midterm elections — and nudge premiums even higher.
The Justice Department said in a court filing late Thursday that it will no longer defend key parts of the Affordable Care Act, beginning with the unpopular requirement that people carry health insurance, but also including widely-supported provisions that guarantee access for people with medical problems and limit what insurers can charge older, sicker adults.
Friday, the insurance industry warned in stark terms of "harm that would come to millions of Americans" if such protections are struck down, causing premiums "to go even higher for older Americans and sicker patients."
Weighing in on a Texas challenge to the health law, the Justice Department argued that legally and practically the popular consumer protections cannot be separated from the unpopular insurance mandate, which Congress has repealed, effective next year.
That argument is likely to be lost on consumers, said Robert Blendon, a polling expert at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health — particularly in the heat of an election that will determine control of Congress.
"The pre-existing condition thing is what the ads will be run on," said Blendon. "Pre-existing conditions have gotten to be an issue that people walking on the streets understand ... it's very emotional."Last edited by ScoobyDoo; 06-11-2018, 12:15 PM.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.
