I am unemployed and do not have insurance, but I do NOT want to be on Obamacare. Even though President Obama stated in the ramp up of getting votes for his insurance that we would NOT lose our insurance, there were many people warning about this very thing – this law was written to kill the current insurance model. If that is the case, then the current insurance companies will be forced out of business.
Case in point – in the state of Tennessee, small business owners and the self-employed will be losing their bare bones insurance coverage, because of Obamacare. This is the start of real affordable insurance companies being killed because of this law. The government really wants everyone on Obamacare, then they will have complete control over every aspect of our lives.
Don’t believe it? Who is going to administer care? – The Death Panels that Sarah Palin warned us about. Who is going to control the money? – The IRS who is already in the process of strong arming people who do not agree with the Presidents polices. Just as the Tea Party’s that wanted to have a 501-C during the last election cycle. Many still have not received that status, but the liberal groups were fast-tracked through the process.
“The new health-care law has destroyed an innovative state health insurance plan that is helping 16,000 Tennesseans afford health-care coverage,” Alexander said. “Like all Americans, these Tennesseans were promised by President Obama that under his health-care law they’d keep their coverage, but will likely be forced by the law into the Obamacare exchanges, where the affordability of health insurance, security of their personal information and ability of doctors to take new patients are all in question.”
In another article, small business owners are being penalized for not notifying their employees by letter about the health-care exchanges. This is even for business with only one employee but with annual revenue of $500,000. This is a little known part of the law that business owners were not even aware of. It is almost like the government is wanting the law to be so confusing that they will be able to charge penalties for anything.
Joseph Dutra, president and CEO of Kimmie Candy Co., has 30 employees and brings in more than $500,000 in revenue annually, which means he has to notify workers of the exchanges by Oct. 1. He had no idea.
“My understanding is that a lot of businesses don’t know what the requirements are under the law,” Dutra says. “So many businesses don’t have a designated HR department.”
Of course, the White House declined to comment:
The White House declined to comment on how the fine would be implemented, but deferred to the U.S. Small Business Administration, which says education on this FLSA requirement has been part of “any and all outreach that SBA does with small business owners.” The agency says it has participated in more than 750 ACA-related events with more than 30,000 small business owners and community stakeholders since February 2013.
