The syndicate known as the Obama administration is
using one of its capos to strong arm the States into setting up Obamacare
exchanges. The U.S. Department of Health
and Human services is making an offer that a once free and independent people can’t
refuse.
Residents of states that refuse to set
up health insurance exchanges under Obamacare are set to be hit with higher
premiums under new rules announced by the Health and Human Services Department.Insurance companies will be charged 3.5 percent of any premiums they sell through the federal exchanges, the department announced Friday.
And insurers are likely to pass that surcharge on to clients, leading to higher premiums.
The only states to be affected are those that refuse to set up their own exchanges because of opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They are almost certain to be those under Republican control. In those states, HHS will set up the exchanges
GOP governors are taking a hard line against implementing any part of the healthcare law, which will mean insurers in their states will need to pay the monthly fee, The Hill reports.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer announced this week that her state will not set up an exchange, calling the proposal "too expensive and too risky." Her decision brings the total of states refusing to comply with the act's provisions up to 17.
The exchanges were supposed to be up and running in all states by 2014. HHS plans to charge insurers 3.5 percent of the premiums for each plan they sell through the federal exchange.
If that’s the case, then why would
anyone buy a policy from one of these exchanges? Why not just bypass these thugs and go
directly to the insurance companies? Or
will we all receive horse heads at the foot of our beds if we don’t buy from
the federal mobsters?
