Health insurance marketplaces will not be required to verify consumer claims

The Obama administration announced Friday that it would significantly scale back the health law’s requirements that new insurance marketplaces verify consumers’ income and health insurance status...

HHS gives up on Obamacare’s anti-fraud measures

With this news coming after the employer mandate delay announcement, the Obama administration has now openly conceded that it is in way over its head...

Status: offline 		I have always said that Obamacare was fucked up from the word go, after all the bullshit trying to make everyone happy, they created a law that basically means that everyone is fucked.

And dont tell me that the Republicans have offered anything better. Lets face it, affordable health care for both sides of the fence is about as likely as me being the only winner for both the power ball and mega millions when both of them are worth over a half billion after taxes.

Nobody should be forced to enroll in employer based insurance if subsidized health insurance on the exchange is more affordable. The whole point of the law is to make health care affordable, right? Affordable premiums do no good if workers still can't afford medical care because of their deductibles. Some employers only offer high deductible plans. I think an effort should be made to separate health insurance from employment. That would solve the issue of employees getting their hours cut and businesses refusing to hire full time. I believe that would lead to an increase in JOBS JOBS JOBS.

This is where you are wrong. This wasn't about affordable care. It isn't actually making care affordable. It is shifting the cost of care onto those who make more money. The actual cost of the care provided isn't going to go down, that is, get more affordable overall. It's simply cost shifting. And, it's really about shifting the cost of insurance, not the cost of care.

I meant it would reduce the cost of care to people with low incomes, but you are right in what you say. The beauty of single-payer health care is the ability to control the cost of the health care and drugs (compare the cost of an expensive drug in the US to the cost of the same drug in Canada). The American government is controlled by corporations. Members of congress vote the way they are told to vote by the special interests that finance their campaigns. That's why single-payer, which would've had the ability to control costs, wouldn't pass even with a Democrat controlled Congress. As long as the United States is run by the corporations for the corporations, controlling the actual cost of care like other countries with single-payer systems do will be extremely difficult, if not impossible.

I discussed this once with the health-care wonk I know best, who lives and breathes this stuff and advises major corporations about managing their health-care costs. He said the ACA had two goals: (a) boosting access to health care and (b) lowering health-care costs. His verdict is that it does (a) but not (b).

You've got it, this is America after all. So it still is as always...about the money and who profits which I wrote about long ago. All bills and regulations of the large markets are written by the profiteers. Obamcare so-called...is no exception.

So the truth is just like the bullshit that doctors. will leave medicare en masse if not flush enough to pay billions...proves or will prove to be just yet another cash cow for industry.

As for the fraud by the enrollees. Could be only a short time before it catches up to medicare, the gift to doctors and hospitals...that keeps on giving.

Oh and by the way, the cost of medical care to the truly poor...was zero. Now it will either cost something with or without a subsidy or even they are fined. More Chomsky 101 even if one needs govt. to help pick up the tab.

Profiteers absolute love these kinds of programs.

When they talk about cutting costs and the aca they are mainly talking about cutting costs to medicare and medicaid. you know the ones the government runs not the greedy corps. And yes it does address many issues involving CMS and cutting costs. Now whether or not it works is another story.

...not the greedy corps. ? Who do you think are the recipients of most of our medical care costs ? Prices will likely skyrocket now that everybody has to pay and as stated...will get help to do just that.

I was referring to one of the purposes of the ACA.

It does both. Not to the extent I wished it would, but I have been over and over this before. There are many aspects of this law that do lower costs.

You want to talk about the patriot act, start a thread on it. That is not what my post was about.

Presumably they shouldn't be using antisepsis, painkillers, anaesthesia and other medical technologies undreamed of during the 18th century if it's purely a constitutional matter, then. I'm reminded of Ralf Hutter (of Kraftwerk)'s comments about fundamentalist musicians who presumably don't take a similar approach to technology when they visit their dentist. Somebody is showing more backbone than the '70s boogie guitar bores did...
