It’s official: Obamacare will stick it to young Americans
Posted by: Suckerz ()
Date: November 28, 2012 01:41AM

It’s official: the health care law will unduly stick it to young Americans by making them pay far higher premiums starting January 1, 2014. New rules announced this month are even worse than expected when it comes to shoveling an unfair burden onto our nation’s youth. Moreover, they also perversely increase the incentives of young people to remain uninsured.

The newly announced rules limit insurers to charge their oldest customers no more than three times as much as younger ones. As shown in the following chart based on estimates by international management consulting firm Oliver Wyman, the rule will force insurers to hike rates for 18- to 24-year-olds by 45 percent even as rates for those 60 and older drop by 13 percent in most states.[2] That means a 22-year-old waitress paying $2,068 for her health insurance will have to fork over $3,000 when Obamacare takes effect.[3] And these figures even underestimate the actual impact.

You are either a senior citizen on a fixed income, or a nitwit.

$2,068 for insurance is $172.33 a month, or $86.16 per bi-weekly pay period.

So the increase to $3,000 sounds horrendous until you actually use your brain (or a calculator) It goes up to $250 a month, or $125 per bi-weekly pay period.

Only a senior citizen or someone with poor money management skills is going to be "hurt" by such a measly increase. Which is why the increases are disproportionately affecting younger people who have a greater future income potential than older people.

Oh, sorry, the news story was meant to get you worked up. Yeah, Obama sucks! Fuck socialism commies!

You obviously didn't read it dumbfuck since (1) it's written from the perspective arguing that the increase is unfair to younger people to the advantage of older, (2) that it gives people even more incentive to simply pay the penalty which then skews the funding and increases the deficit that it will run, and (3) the costs are adjusted regularly so it will continue to increase from there. It also doesn't account for the increases to those over the subsidy break point who will pay significantly more in the same way.

Oh noes, reality. Yeah, Obama rox dude. FREE health care for everybody. Weeeeee!

You edited your post, yet you still left in "you have to subsidies the old." Is subsidies a verb in your mind?

Not really.

When the current crop of whippersnappers reaches their dotage, there'll be another cadre of whippersnappers to support them.

And so it goes.

No, it's not really. It's great for anybody who's at the income levels where they're subsidized. Everyone else will be paying more to subsidize them. Sorry, that's just the objective reality.

It's also a terribly written bill with lots of unintended consequences as above. It was done in the form that it was just to get something done towards the goal of universal health care. Which isn't necessarily a bad idea and likely where we'll end up like it or not, but you need to either do it or not. The current bill is all f'ed up and admittedly so even by those who designed it. It does virtually nothing to affect rapidly rising health care costs, largely due to demographics, which is the primary problem, it's simply an attempt to distribute those costs across a larger population.

More the case is that the only people who think that it's "great" are ideologues like you. Anyone realistic and objective about it understands the weaknesses, huge costs involved, and likely future consequences as it's currently designed.

You just described a ponzi scheme. Given the increasing unemployment figures, decline in wages and lack of motivation among younger generations (mine included) how long can you expect the scheme to stay afloat?

How is it great for everyone?

On January 1, my family is losing our healthcare.

The choice for my company was fire employees or dump healthcare and pay the penalty.

They dumped healthcare.

OH, AND YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

You do understand how Social Security works, don't you?

Or do you believe that the money you pay today goes into an account for you to withdraw from later? hahaha! you need to continue watching whatever channel it is you watch, because they are keeping you well fed with disinfo.

Yes. And it is obvious that you are the one that needs a refresher.

> Or do you believe that the money you pay today
> goes into an account for you to withdraw from
> later?

No, but let's look at the reality of the situation. Social Security’s expenditures exceeded non-interest income in 2010 and 2011, the first such occurrences since 1983, and the Trustees estimate that these expenditures will remain greater than non-interest income throughout the 75-year projection period. The deficit of non-interest income relative to expenditures was about $49 billion in 2010 and $45 billion in 2011, and the Trustees project that it will average about $66 billion between 2012 and 2018 before rising steeply as the economy slows after the recovery is complete and the number of beneficiaries continues to grow at a substantially faster rate than the number of covered workers. Redemption of trust fund assets from the General Fund of the Treasury will provide the resources needed to offset the annual cash-flow deficits. Since these redemptions will be less than interest earnings through 2020, nominal trust fund balances will continue to grow. The trust fund ratio, which indicates the number of years of program cost that could be financed solely with current trust fund reserves, peaked in 2008, declined through 2011, and is expected to decline further in future years. After 2020, Treasury will redeem trust fund assets in amounts that exceed interest earnings until exhaustion of trust fund reserves in 2033, three years earlier than projected last year.

You do the math. Does that sound like a sustainable program?

Are you talking about making the poor pay for medical insurance? The $612 mandate for healthcare that Obamacare requires?

Seems to have worked well in MA to lower insurance costs and get the free loaders to pay up in the system.

No, please follow along if you want to participate in the conversation. Given your inability to understand the difference between an authorization bill and an appropriations bill, your inability to follow along here is no big surprise. Have you thought about just not participating in conversations you don't understand?

As with any tax, under ObamaCare the benefits received by some participants will exceed their contributions and vice-versa.

This is analogous to taxpayers whose tax dollars support parks, libraries, and schools that they may not use.

Seriously? You don't see the difference?

Entitlement programs are mandatory spending. Everything else is discretionary. Parks, libraries, schools are all discretionary. Entitlements are mandatory. If you need me to explain the difference between mandatory and discretionary spending, just go away and let the grown ups have the discussion.

You are changing ships midstream. It looks like you are lost. You didn't ask that question in response to the ponzi scheme contention. You asked it in relation to entitlements.

In any event, you need contributors to pay for recipeints even though the contributors might not see a benefit whent he cash runs out. What happens when the pool of recipients takes more benefits than the contributors can contribute?

Robbing Peter to pay Paul, Ponzi scheme, call it whatever you want, it is unsustainable under the current systems in place.

So you charge more to the people at the end of the line to pay the people at the beginning of the line? Yeah, that isn't a Ponzi scheme at all....

Again, at what point do these entitlements become unsustainable?

Social Security is most certainly an entitlement. The system is paid for by current workers, to pay for current retirees.

The first recipients never even paid into it.

The first didnt because it had to start somewhere. The current payess of course will see social security when they become old enough. In theory it was supposed to be a lockbox and untouchable, but that didnt happen.
Money is actually being put into the system unlike welfare where we know those receiving are not putting in a dime.

Incorrect. Ida Fuller paid in $24.00 over a 3 year period and received the first SS payment under the system of $22.54. By the time of her death, she had received $23,000.

Quite true.

1) YOU claimed ObamaCare is just like SS.

2) I agreed, to the extent that, "the benefits received by some participants will exceed their contributions and vice-versa."

Under Medicaid, yes. Not through ObamaCare.

WRONG:

Q: What if I make too much for Medicaid but still can't afford coverage?

A: You might be eligible for government subsidies to help you pay for private insurance that would be sold in the new state-based insurance marketplaces, called exchanges, slated to begin operation in 2014.

Premium subsidies will be available for individuals and families with incomes between 133 percent and 400 percent of the poverty level, or $14,404 to $43,320 for individuals and $29,326 to $88,200 for a family of four.

The subsidies will be on a sliding scale. For example, a family of four earning 150 percent of the poverty level, or $33,075 a year, will have to pay 4 percent of its income, or $1,323, on premiums. A family with income of 400 percent of the poverty level will have to pay 9.5 percent, or $8,379.

In addition, if your income is below 400 percent of the poverty level, your out-of-pocket health expenses will be limited.

Please learn more about the law you are so vehemently defending. You clearly don't understand it very well at all.

Receiving a subsidy to by private insurance is not "getting healthcare" for free as you implied.

PS - One can always "get healthcare" by going to an Emergency Room.

It is free to the person that gets it.

I think we all know those who dont work will still get healthcare. They just show up at Faifax Hospital and demand to be treated, they cannot be refused. They have no wealth for the hospital to go after when the bill is not paid. The hospital just tacks on the lost revenue to the next customer who has insurance.

Reduced cost does not equal free.

If it reduces it to nothing it equals free.

This refers to the exchanges, which are for those who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid (133% of the poverty rate or more, to be precise). The subsidies could not reduce the cost to zero.

All of these young-ish White and East Asian people who vote Left are complete dumbfucks for thinking they'll actually get anything out of voting Democrat.

America is a worthless shithole trapped in some kind of Twilight Zone. We spend like the European socialist states but have nothing to show for it.

No "free" univeral government run health care.

No "free" college.

Shit infrastructure.

The money just goes to the retarded U.S. military who doesn't have the balls to conduct itself like a real empire, to low-IQ mud people, the elderly and governmnet employees.

These libtards think they're screwing over the rich and getting a free ride.

In reality, the Left views them as "oppressors" and spoiled yuppies to milk like tax slaves.

They're the ones who are gonna get screwed by the Democrat's version of socialism.

Your inability to answer a simple question is astounding.

By the way, you just described an entitlement.
