The Obama administration’s Operation Anaconda is
slowing ensnaring millions of Americans into their government health care
rubric. In North Carolina alone, it is
estimated that 1 million of our citizens will qualify for subsidized policies. Keep in mind this state has a population of
about 9.7 million. That is a huge
percentage. And that isn’t factoring in
businesses that are going to dump their employees onto these exchanges.
Here is an excerpt from a Charlotte Observer article:
Chaney Stokes is among an estimated
800,000 uninsured North Carolinians who are expected to buy subsidized coverage
on the new health insurance exchange. In addition, more than half of the
roughly 435,000 North Carolina residents who already have individual policies
are expected to switch to the cheaper, subsidized coverage.
The majority of state residents who
have other types of insurance – a combined 7.6 million covered through
employers, Medicare or Medicaid – are not likely to see dramatic changes in
their insurance.
Enrollment in the new insurance
plans begins in October and coverage starts Jan. 1. As a practical matter, many
North Carolinians will have two options: Blue Cross and Blue Shield or Coventry
Health Care of the Carolinas. Both have proposed multiple plans that await
approval from the N.C. Department of Insurance and the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services.
Under the law, North Carolinians who
qualify for subsidies are expected to receive more than $5,000 a year per
household on average to offset their insurance costs, according to the U.S.
Treasury Department. Subsidy levels will vary depending on income and other
factors under the Affordable Care Act, which is often referred to as Obamacare.
Those who don’t get insurance will
pay a fine, starting next year at $95 or 1 percent of income, whichever is greater.
For Stokes, the 1 percent rule would likely apply, bumping up her potential
fine to around $320. By 2016, the penalty will be $695 or 2.5 percent of income.
This country is over $17 trillion in
debt, and we’re going to subsidize this monstrosity? And they have no idea on how they're going to pay for it. This federal government anaconda is squeezing
the life blood out of all of us.
