update: #14, 15,16,17 - added 1/14/2011
Number of waivers granted allowing corporate America a way out of ObamaCare? 222, up from 103 three weeks ago !!! See waivers.
Fact #2 - all medical devices will be taxed at much higher rates than before Obama, forcing medical costs higher. This is part of the strategy to drive private health care out of business. The alternative? The public option !! Under the Public Option, medical device costs will be dictated by the Federal Government.
Fact #3 - If you as a family making $88,000 annually chooses not to take out insurance, the initial rake of fines will be set at the rate of $695 per family member (including infants) per year. When a family members become seriously ill, perhaps years down the road, you can then choose to enroll into the insurance program. You cannot be refused under the law requiring coverage of pre-existent illnesses.
Fact #4 - Obama and Company added "16 million" to the Medicare rolls while cutting a half trillion dollars of Federal funding out of the program. Before doing this, Medicare has accumulated a mandated but unfunded debt of $37 trillion dollars. Please note that most authorities now say that the total number of folks added to the Medicare rolls is 37 million rather than 16 million.
Fact #5 - Previous to Obama, insurance companies were required by law to pay out 65% of premiums collected back into insurance coverage benefit costs. After Obama, that has been raised to 80%, leaving private insurance with a mere 20% to pay for salaries, bonuses, construction costs, taxes, utility costs and all other overhead items.
Fact #6 - ObamaCare prohibits participating companies from limiting benefit costs for an individual. Companies must, also, accept anyone who seeks coverage.
Fact #7 - According to Morningstar Investment Research, the health insurance industry's profitability margin was a low 3.45 ranking the insurance industry at 87th out of 215 US industries. Conclusion: the health insurance industry is not the profit monster Obama and the Class Warfare Mongers want you to believe.
updated 10/28/10
Fact # 8 - Beginning January 1, if you have a medical savings account or a Flexible Spending Account , you will have to get a doctor's prescription to buy aspirin, Aleve, Tylenol, cold/flu medicines, hemorrhoid creams, aspiration or inhalant medication, insect repellant for summers in her backyard and Prevacid for an infrequent case of heartburn and 15,000 other medications. Of course, the idea is to drive you out of your medical savings programs and into a full fledged "public option."
Fact #9 - In order to pay for ObamaCare, the Dems are planning on eliminating the homeowner's tax deduction on their mortgage interest. We have a 143,000 loan. This will cost us around $2,000 a year in cold hard cash -- and we are on a fixed income.
Fact #10 - On Jan. 1, the cuts to Medicare Advantage start kicking in -- $140 billion in lost federal funding. This will limit provisions for dental, eye and comprehensive prescription-drug coverage that these policies provide. It is not known how severe these cuts will be.
Fact #11 - The reform law is also designed to push patients and doctors into an HMO-style arrangement, called "Accountable Care Organizations." The cooperating doctors will work for the State, essentially, and the patients will do what they are told to do by the 15 member advisory panel. This all begins in 2014.
Fact #12 - This bill will raise more than $500 BILLION in new taxes by raising payroll taxes, fines to businesses, new investment taxes, fees on medical technology companies. (all medical equipment will be taxed in order to help pay for this monster.
Fact #13 - beginning in 2014, virtually all Americans will be forced to buy insurance or pay a fine.
Consider Governor Palin's warning from her Facebook AND the American Thinker comments that follow:
As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we're saying not just no, but hell no! The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's "death panel" so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their "level of productivity in society," whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil. ...
We must step up and engage in this most crucial debate. Nationalizing our health care system is a point of no return for government interference in the lives of its citizens. If we go down this path, there will be no turning back.
Fact #14 - definitely, there will be death panels. Don't Believe Sarah Palin ? How about Paul Krugman?
Krugman: Think about people on the right. They’re simultaneously screaming, they’re going to send all of the old people to death panels and it’s not going to save any money. That’s a contradictory point of view.
Tapper: Death panels would save money, theoretically.
Krugman: The advisory path has the ability to make more or less binding judgments on saying this particular expensive treatment actually doesn’t do any good medically and so we’re not going to pay for it. That is actually going to save quite a lot of money. We don’t know how much yet. The CBO gives it very little credit. But most of the health care economists I talk to think it’s going to be a really major cost saving. (April 3, 2010). LINK
Fact #15 : A brief commentary on the increasing and catastrophic expense of ObamaCare. (submitted 12/27/2010)
Despite the "nonparitsan" BS from FactCheck and PolitiFact, the equivalents of death panels are in ObamaCare.
Look, you simply cannot control costs and reduce the national (annual) deficit while you are attempting to do the following:
Free Health Insurance for a Sixth of the Nation
1. Move 16 million people into ObamaCare via Medicare. The ugly truth this: the actual numbers will be 35 to 50 million people. Additional cost = 40 to 75 billion dollars per year or 4 to 7.5 trillion for a ten year period !!! Understand that these are immigrants, illegals that through the system, and the poor. They are not Baby boomers.
Pay for end of life care for Baby Boomers
2. We are being told that the Baby Boomers will add another 10,000 claimants per day for 17 to 29 years. Understand that the Boomers will bring the most expensive of claims into the mix. i.e. end of life medical provisions. Estimated cost: eventually, trillions.
Pay for 2.5 trillion in Medicare reimbursements
3. You may remember the "doctor fix." What is that? Well, it is the federal reimbursement to the medical community for Medicare coverage. Without this reimbursement, thousands of doctors would be forced from the system. The "fix" costs the taxpayer around 250 billion per year or 2.5 trillion over the course of ten years, assuming the reimbursement total does not increase. It was not included in the health care "cost debate" for obvious reasons. But it is a medical cost and it will become a part of the ObamaCare taxpayer scam.
So, how does Obama cut costs? By encouraging folks to plan for their deaths without encouraging them in the use of expensive medical late/life care. The original Obama plan gave doctor's reimbursements if they counseled folks every 5 years. An explosion in the debate took place, typified by Sarah Palin's "death panel" comments. So much heat occurred as a result, that this provision was taken out of the bill. Now, months later, there is provision in the doctor's fix for reimbursement if the doctor advises on an annual basis (which is more often than every five years). Understand that the this new provision is not written law. Rather, it exists because of Obama's use or misuse of regulations. (see the NY Times story here.)
Understand that Obama care was not written by a panel of medical and civilian authors and, then, submitted to Congress for review and passage.
Nope. Obama told us we did not have time for all that; We were in a state of emergency, that we should not expect to know what was in the bill until after the bill became law. So the bill was written behind closed doors, not in committee. It was written with a view to passage, hence bribes and earmarks that totaled hundreds of billions of dollars . . . . . perhaps the most poorly written piece of legislation in American history.
Fact #16: Doctor owned bank have been legislated against in the health care bill. According to Fox News reporting the week of Jan 10-14, 2011, there are 46 doctor hospitals currently under expansion. That work has come to a halt per this reform law and other doctor owned hospitals will be built. The new health care rules single out such hospitals, making new physician-owned projects ineligible to receive payments for Medicare and Medicaid patients.cf. CNS news story .
Fact #17: A comprehensive list of new taxes because of ObamaCare:
This entry dated 1/14/2011. Taken from this location HERE. Compliation by Ryan Ellis
Next week, the U.S. House of Representatives will be voting on an historic repeal of the Obamacare law. While there are many reasons to oppose this flawed government health insurance law, it is important to remember that Obamacare is also one of the largest tax increases in American history. Below is a comprehensive list of the two dozen new or higher taxes that pay for Obamcare’s expansion of government spending and interference between doctors and patients.
Individual Mandate Excise Tax(Jan 2014): Starting in 2014, anyone not buying “qualifying” health insurance must pay an income surtax according to the higher of the following
| 1 Adult | 2 Adults | 3+ Adults |
2014 | 1% AGI/$95 | 1% AGI/$190 | 1% AGI/$285 |
2015 | 2% AGI/$325 | 2% AGI/$650 | 2% AGI/$975 |
2016 + | 2.5% AGI/$695 | 2.5% AGI/$1390 | 2.5% AGI/$2085 |
Exemptions for religious objectors, undocumented immigrants, prisoners, those earning less than the poverty line, members of Indian tribes, and hardship cases (determined by HHS)
Employer Mandate Tax(Jan 2014): If an employer does not offer health coverage, and at least one employee qualifies for a health tax credit, the employer must pay an additional non-deductible tax of $2000 for all full-time employees. This provision applies to all employers with 50 or more employees. If any employee actually receives coverage through the exchange, the penalty on the employer for that employee rises to $3000. If the employer requires a waiting period to enroll in coverage of 30-60 days, there is a $400 tax per employee ($600 if the period is 60 days or longer).
Combined score of individual and employer mandate tax penalty: $65 billion/10 years
Surtax on Investment Income ($123 billion/Jan. 2013): This increase involves the creation of a new, 3.8 percent surtax on investment income earned in households making at least $250,000 ($200,000 single). This would result in the following top tax rates on investment income
| Capital Gains | Dividends | Other* |
2010 | 15% | 15% | 35% |
2011-2012 (current law) | 20% | 39.6% | 39.6% |
2011-2012 (Obama budget) | 20% | 20% | 39.6% |
2013+ (current law) | 23.8% | 43.4% | 43.4% |
2013+ (Obama budget) | 23.8% | 23.8% | 43.4% |
*Other unearned income includes (for surtax purposes) gross income from interest, annuities, royalties, net rents, and passive income in partnerships and Subchapter-S corporations. It does not include municipal bond interest or life insurance proceeds, since those do not add to gross income. It does not include active trade or business income, fair market value sales of ownership in pass-through entities, or distributions from retirement plans. The 3.8% surtax does not apply to non-resident aliens.
Excise Tax on Comprehensive Health Insurance Plans($32 bil/Jan 2018): Starting in 2018, new 40 percent excise tax on “Cadillac” health insurance plans ($10,200 single/$27,500 family). For early retirees and high-risk professions exists a higher threshold ($11,500 single/$29,450 family). CPI +1 percentage point indexed.
Hike in Medicare Payroll Tax($86.8 bil/Jan 2013): Current law and changes:
| First $200,000
| All Remaining Wages
|
Current Law | 1.45%/1.45%
| 1.45%/1.45%
|
Obamacare Tax Hike | 1.45%/1.45%
| 1.45%/2.35%
|
Medicine Cabinet Tax($5 bil/Jan 2011): Americans no longer able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin)
HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike($1.4 bil/Jan 2011): Increases additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
Flexible Spending Account Cap – aka“Special Needs Kids Tax”($13 bil/Jan 2013): Imposes cap of $2500 (Indexed to inflation after 2013) on FSAs (now unlimited). . There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education.
Tax on Medical Device Manufacturers($20 bil/Jan 2013): Medical device manufacturers employ 360,000 people in 6000 plants across the country. This law imposes a new 2.3% excise tax. Exemptions include items retailing for less than $100.
Raise "Haircut" for Medical Itemized Deduction from 7.5% to 10% of AGI($15.2 bil/Jan 2013): Currently, those facing high medical expenses are allowed a deduction for medical expenses to the extent that those expenses exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI). The new provision imposes a threshold of 10 percent of AGI; it is waived for 65+ taxpayers in 2013-2016 only.
Tax on Indoor Tanning Services($2.7 billion/July 1, 2010): New 10 percent excise tax on Americans using indoor tanning salons
Elimination of tax deduction for employer-provided retirement Rx drug coverage in coordination with Medicare Part D($4.5 bil/Jan 2013)
Blue Cross/Blue Shield Tax Hike($0.4 bil/Jan 2010): The special tax deduction in current law for Blue Cross/Blue Shield companies would only be allowed if 85 percent or more of premium revenues are spent on clinical services
Excise Tax on Charitable Hospitals(Min$/immediate): $50,000 per hospital if they fail to meet new "community health assessment needs," "financial assistance," and "billing and collection" rules set by HHS
Tax on Innovator Drug Companies($22.2 bil/Jan 2010): $2.3 billion annual tax on the industry imposed relative to share of sales made that year.
Tax on Health Insurers($60.1 bil/Jan 2014): Annual tax on the industry imposed relative to health insurance premiums collected that year. The stipulation phases in gradually until 2018, and is fully-imposed on firms with $50 million in profits.
$500,000 Annual Executive Compensation Limit for Health Insurance Executives($0.6 bil/Jan 2013)
Employer Reporting of Insurance on W-2(Min$/Jan 2011): Preamble to taxing health benefits on individual tax returns.
Corporate 1099-MISC Information Reporting($17.1 bil/Jan 2012): Requires businesses to send 1099-MISC information tax forms to corporations (currently limited to individuals), a huge compliance burden for small employers
“Black liquor” tax hike(Tax hike of $23.6 billion). This is a tax increase on a type of bio-fuel.
Codification of the “economic substance doctrine”(Tax hike of $4.5 billion). This provision allows the IRS to disallow completely-legal tax deductions and other legal tax-minimizing plans just because the IRS deems that the action lacks “substance” and is merely intended to reduce taxes owed.

. . . . . . . . . . . . American Thinker's Tribute to the Palin Factor and ObamaCare
Once again we're presented with evidence that the health-care debate is occurring without adequate attention being paid to the record of established nationalized health-care systems overseas.
This has arisen as a result of Sarah Palin's superb maneuver in forcing the administration to drop Section 1233 of the ObamaCare act, entitled "Advance Care Planning Consultation." Section 1233, which we might as well call the "Let's Wrap it Up" clause, calls for "planning sessions" for Medicare clients in which the "continuum of end-of-life services and supports available" would be explained in detail. This "continuum" includes "palliative and hospice care", but is unlikely to be limited to that. Palin accused the administration of opening the door to euthanasia, with Section 1233 amounting to a first step toward "death panels" making life-and-death decisions amounting to such action.
Last week Section 1233 was dropped in toto. Palin forced this result through a single Facebook posting, a stroke that if carried out by anyone else but Lady Deerslayer would have been praised far and wide as masterful. But instead we got the usual attacks on Palin's personality, intelligence, and motives. In large part this involved such usual suspects as the mass media, Huffington Post-type blogs, and Obama himself. But center-right figures were also heard from, including (inevitably) David Frum. If Palin were to save the planet from alien invasion, Frum would have something kind to say for the invaders. But the editors of National Review were also critical in their customary indirect way:
"To conclude... that President Obama's favored legislation will lead to "death panels" deciding whose life has sufficient value to be saved - let alone that Obama desires this outcome - is to leap across a logical canyon."
In fact, it's no leap whatsoever, as would be apparent to anyone who has been paying serious attention, as opposed to media-level attention, to the problem of health care. The British National Health Service, the mother of all nationalized health systems, has had what amounts to a "death panel" system since 2005. Under the terms of the Mental Capacity Act, patients unable to communicate with hospital personnel are considered to be "due to die" and are removed from all forms of life support, including food and water. In other words, given the same treatment meted out to Terry Schiavo. READ THE FULL ARTICLE>>>>>

ObamaCare’s Biggest Opponent Is Not The GOP, It Is The Medical Profession
Filed Under: Other
Why are Speaker Pelosi and President Obama having difficulty with the health care reform bill even though the Democrats have a supermajority? It is because they are politicians and are viewed as untrustworthy my most Americans. These politicians’ biggest opponent is not the GOP, it is the medical profession. In order to gain the support of the American people they must publicly challenge the integrity of 4 of the 5 most trusted professions.
Gallop performs an Annual Honesty and Ethics poll that rates different professions. Each year there is little change. Physicians are usually in the top 3 or 4 and politicians are near the bottom. The most recent Gallop poll was conducted in 11/08 and reported results that were consistent with this claim. The question was asked: Please tell me how you would rate the honesty and ethical standards of people in these different fields — very high, high, average, low, or very low? This particular poll looked at 21 professions among them were nurses, pharmacists, teachers, medical doctors, congressmen, lobbyists, and journalists. The results were typical of years past and showed physicians were near among the most trusted and politicians were near the bottom of the list. At the very bottom were lobbyists.
Nurses were at the top with 84% of Americans giving their honesty and ethical standards as very high. 70% of Americans rated pharmacists very high and 64% rated physicians very high while only 6% rated them very low. Looking further down the list shows journalists received 25% very high and 31% very low, and only 12% of Americans rate congressmen very high while 46% rate their ethical standards and honesty very low. At the bottom of the list were lobbyists with scores of 5% very high and 64% very low.
The Gallop report broke down the results even further into three categories of professions for honesty and ethics: top-rated, neutral, and least well-rated.
Nurses have no peer in the Gallup rankings today, but they are followed by pharmacists, high-school teachers, and medical doctors, all with close to two-thirds of Americans rating them highly. Just over half of Americans consider the honesty and ethics of clergy members and the police high or very high.
While fewer than half of Americans consider funeral directors or accountants to be highly ethical, these professions are much more likely to be viewed positively than negatively.
…Indeed, several professions suffer from a heavily negative tilt in their image ratings. The worst of these are lobbyists, telemarketers, and car salesmen, all of which are considered to have low or very low honesty and ethics by a majority of Americans.
Although several other professions — congressmen, stockbrokers, advertising practitioners, business executives, lawyers, and labor union leaders — are not as negatively viewed as the bottom three, the ratings for them skew negative by more than a 2-to-1 ratio.
Politicians have attempted to make the claim that the “the doctors are behind us” by pointing to the support of the AMA. However, they are now finding that the majority of doctors are not falling in line. Doctors aren’t against this plan for their own selfish reasons. No, we actually care for our patients and are bound to an oath. Physicians, who are trusted with their patient’s lives and families, have a special connection with the American people that President Obama covets….a trusted relationship.
I think that the next effective communicative effort to stop this destructive health care “reform” proposed by Obama must be a campaign of physicians, nurses, and pharmacists speaking the truth to the American people in the various forms of media. The president has called us out and now it is time to give an answer.

It's amazing how something that can help us so much, also hurts in just as badly.
ReplyDeleteSure in the long-run this may be a good idea, but if we look at the initial effects and costs many Americans will really despise this.
I'm doing a debate in my 12th grade Law&Gov class, so I'm trying to find good sources of info. How -Exact- is the information you have here?
Well, this a little late. Sorry. Research is a tricky business. It can be complicated by the bias of the ones reporting the fact.
ReplyDeleteAll of my facts come from government sources (documents and elected congressional personnel) and accepted news sources (FoxNews, FoxBusiness, CNN and the morning programming on MSNBC.
Better yet, take the individual points and hit the internet. Don't be afraid to read from both the Left and Right. We are Right, here, of course.
If you have a specific question or challenge an individual point, leave a comment or address my email account, listed in the right hand column.
Be honest.
