Most people paying Obama tax instead of signing up

[rightwinger]

When you say 'most people', are you counting the 11 million who signed up this year?

btw, so what? If people don't want the tax break, they don't have to take it.

Are they using fuzzy math again and counting the ones they Automaticaly renew?

I wont sign up for my company insurance till 2016

Only 12% of uninsured people would buy policies if informed of the penalty, according to a survey of 3,000 adults polled through Feb. 24 by McKinsey & Co.’s Center for U.S. Health System Reform.

I asked you why you said most people are opting for the tax.

The rationale of right wing dingbats boils down to this" "I'll only buy car insurance the minute after I'm in a car accident."

No such thing as a car "accident" a car crash it takes two people to tangle out on the roads.

If you don't drive defensively, why should I pay for your recklessness?

I have not had a speeding ticket or car crash in 28 years .

There are many accidents that involve just one car. Some are the fault of the driver some are because of driving conditions

Your insurance is based on belonging to a pool of insured. Your rates are lower because of it

You never had an accident in 28 years so you think you don't need insurance......until you need it

What bothers me with these news articles, is the journalists do not check and verify their work. The man they used as an example, did not know what he was talking about, and it is IMPOSSIBLE for him to have to pay this $400 a month in premiums and IMPOSSIBLE for him to have a $6000 deductible as HE CLAIMED.

Granted, $143 a month for good, silver plan coverage, (which covers 73% of your ENTIRE health care coverage, including hospitalization) is still more than the penalty, BUT IT IS NOT what this man claims of $400 a month with a $6000 deductible, which is what SCARES THE PAJESUS out of all of us.

EXTREMELY POOR JOURNALISTIC COVERAGE is what helps fuel this IGNORANCE.



I put in Florida w/zip, a guy making $25k a year....I used $25k because this guy said his penalty was $250, which is the 1% penalty tax for 25k annual salary.

You are likely eligible for financial help
Based on the information you provided, your income is equal to 214% of the poverty level. This means you are likely eligible for financial help through the Health Insurance Marketplace. An estimate of your cost for coverage and amount of financial help in 2015 are provided below. To find out your actual amount of financial help and to get coverage, you must go to Healthcare.gov or your state’s Health Insurance Marketplace.

Estimated financial help:
$76 per month ($917 per year)
as a premium tax credit. This covers 35% of the monthly costs.
Your cost for a silver plan:
$143 per month ($1,710 per year)
in premiums (which equals 6.84% of your household income).
The most you have to pay for a silver plan:
6.84% of income for the second-lowest cost silver plan
Without financial help, your silver plan would cost:
$219 per month ($2,628 per year)
Other Levels of Coverage
The costs above are for a silver plan in your area. Silver plans are one of four levels of coverage that you can buy with financial help. These levels – bronze, silver, gold, and platinum – tell you about how much financial protection the plan will offer you if you get sick. Bronze plans have the lowest monthly costs, but when you need medical care, you will pay more for your care. Gold and platinum plans offer more financial protection if you get sick, but these plans have higher monthly costs. You can receive financial help to purchase any of these levels of coverage.

For example, you could enroll in a bronze plan for about $104 per month ($1,250 per year), which is 5% of your household income, after taking into account $917 in subsidies). For most people, the Bronze plan represents the minimum level of coverage required under health reform. Although you would pay less in premiums by enrolling in a Bronze plan, you will face higher out-of-pocket costs than if you enrolled in a silver plan.

Out of Pocket Costs
Although your insurance company may cover most of the cost of your medical care, you generally have to pay something when you go to the doctor or have a hospital stay. These costs – which are in addition to the amount you pay each month – are called your “out-of-pocket” costs. The health reform law sets limits on the amount you have to pay out-of-pocket each year. Your out-of-pocket limit for a silver plan can be no more than $5,200 in 2015. Whether you reach this maximum level will depend on the amount of health care services you use. Keep in mind that this only protects you when you go to doctors and hospitals that are in your insurer’s network. If you go to a doctor or hospital that is not in the network, you could end up paying much more.

You are guaranteed access to a silver plan with an actuarial value of 73% . This means that for all enrollees in a typical population, the plan will pay for 73% of expenses in total for covered benefits, with enrollees responsible for the rest. If you choose to enroll in a bronze plan, the actuarial value will be 60%, meaning your out-of-pocket costs when you use services will likely be higher. Regardless of which level of coverage you choose, deductibles and copayments will vary from plan to plan, and out-of-pocket costs will depend on your health care expenses. Preventive services will be covered with no cost sharing required.

You sound like a paid poster from the obozo administration, get the fuck out of here? So how much is his Deductible?

oh bull crap on your peanut gallery comment bear.
I don't know what his deductible is because Healthcare.gov is not opened for the research, but Silver plans DO NOT have the higher deductibles....

AND the MAXIMUM deductible/*OUT OF POCKET, he could have with one of the cheaper premium Bronze plans is $5200 BY LAW, NOT $6000 as this man claimed....

SOOOO, the Journalists FAILED to immerse themselves in the FACTS and in verifying their work....and continue to scare people AWAY.

With the obamacare deductible, you would have to pay for your own doctor visits (and probably most tests you might need) for the year.
Obamacare appears to only be a catastrophic policy, where it only kicks in IF you have a surgery.
IF the people are "poor", they wont be able to afford to pay several hundred dollars for the doctors visits!
SO, we are back to "the poor wont get to see a doctor until they are dying".
SO, what good is obamacare, except that obama can now dictate what kind of policy you MUST have, and how much YOU PAY for your premiums.

I think I make around $60,000 ~$70,000 a year with OT

For one I am protesting if it is just 1% or 2% tax

What's cheaper

Your thread title said most people are paying the tax instead of signing up. I asked you how you got to that number.

Don't forget, tens of millions of Americans don't pay the tax because they have insurance outside the exchanges.

We are still waiting for the USSC to let us know whether or not obama can pay subsidizes for the federal exchanges.

SOOOO, the Journalists FAILED to immerse themselves in the FACTS and in verifying their work....and continue to scare people AWAY.

Obamacare appears to only be a catastrophic policy, where it only kicks in IF you have a surgery.
IF the people are "poor", they wont be able to afford to pay several hundred dollars for the doctors visits!
SO, we are back to "the poor wont get to see a doctor until they are dying".
SO, what good is obamacare, except that obama can now dictate what kind of policy you MUST have, and how much YOU PAY for your premiums.

See, this is what most people DO NOT UNDERSTAND, if you are poor, then the gvt comes in and helps you, IN ADDITION to the premium subsidy support if you buy a silver plan. So, if the plan had a $1500 deductible, the cost sharing reduction will come in and say, instead of $1500, your yearly deductible expense will be $200, and the cost sharing reduction WILL PAY THE REST, and if the silver plan you bought had a $5200 total yearly out of pocket expense if you use a lot of health care, then the cost sharing reduction plan will pay it or tell the family or person that the total out of pocket yearly expense is $750 for them instead of the $5200, and if the Emergency Room visit is $500 on the Silver Plan the Cost sharing reduction will pay $400 of it and the person will only owe the $100, (if they are not admitted for something serious, if admitted... then all plans cover the emergency room costs in full)

If you are a single person, making less than $29k a year, then the Exchange Cost sharing Reduction comes in and pays a lot of the deductible and out of pocket expenses. The less you earn in income, the MORE the cost sharing reduction plan will pay for all of your out of pocket expenses as well...

and Doctor visits on these plans are anywhere for $10 a visit to $40 a visit for your Doc....and your physical visit is included so nothing for the Doc.

See, it is a 2 part plan....
1. subsidies the gvt will assist your premium payments

2. Is if you are poor, which is below either 250% or 300% of federal poverty level, then there is the Government Cost Sharing Reduction Plan that comes in to play and this pays the deductibles and out of pocket expenses or comes in to split them with you if you are in the higher end of the "poor" group with your income.
