Barack Obama has explicitly stated that his healthcare plan would lower healthcare costs for Americans. How many of you actually bought that line? How many of you thought that just because it is Barack Obama, somehow the laws of economics would cease to exist and we would be able to have more people covered, more regulations on private coverage and lower costs? And how many businesses that provide health insurance to its employees tried to explain that regulations established under ObamaCare would only RAISE healthcare costs for its employees? That happens when you increase the regulatory and tax burdens on businesses to provide healthcare .. they end up passing those costs on to their employees. And this is exactly what we are currently seeing. It really sucks when you start to realize that this man you worshipped as "sort of a God" is horribly flawed and completely unqualified to hold the office you handed to him, isn't it?
It's that time of year when employers deliver bad news about next year's benefits. Chances are you'll learn that your 2011 health insurance tab will be sharply higher, as companies continue to shift the burden of rising costs onto their workers.
And it's not just premiums that are spiraling higher. You're also likely to be hit with higher deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums as well as bigger bills for doctor's visits and drugs.
What? You mean Obamacare is going to cost me more money? Nooooo! It can't be? Obama said it wouldn't cost me any more money?
Speaking of drugs, have you heard what is coming to you people with your Health Savings Accounts? As of January 1st, employees who use flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health saving accounts (HSAs), or health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) will soon need a doctor's note to pay for over 15,000 over-the-counter drugs including Tylenol, acid reducers, allergy medication, etc. It gets better. Fox News reports ...
The new rules will also prohibit the use of FSA or HRA debit cards provided by administrative plans for over-the-counter purchases, because the IRS says there's no way to prove the drugs were prescribed.
The IRS says any money removed from HSA accounts to pay for medical expenses bought without a prescription will be included as taxable income and subject to an additional tax of 20 percent.
Don't get mad at me .. get mad at yourself that you weren't more vigilant and allowed these Democrats with these dreams and schemes of government-run healthcare to gain control power in Washington. These rules were designed to destroy your private health savings accounts. If you haven't yet figured out that Obamacare was written to destroy the private health care market ... then you probably don't understand the workings of a pencil.
But wait! There's more! Under Obamacare you will be paying more for your health benefits under ObamaCare - our imperial federal government is then going to seize more of your money to pay for ....... $30 million in grants to "help consumers see the benefits" of ObamaCare! This includes helping consumers file appeals and grievances against their existing health insurance plans. No I'm not making this stuff up, folks. You have twelve days. I sure hope you're still paying attention. Unless you're a dedicated member of the moocher class you are going to absolutely hate what happens to your health care under this plan for a government takeover.
