This is another attack on Christianity....plain and simple. The Muslim in the White Hut is wielding his scimitar.

[EBH]

Correct.

But that means we will be looking for those physicians that will still take cash.

[ballplayer]

Does anyone know what happens to the poor who cannot afford insurance now,when they are forced to get insurance through an exchange,do they have to pay anything towards the premium or is it totally free to them but not the taxpayer?

[ballplayer]

I guess this is why the Congress and their staffs will now have 75 percent of their premiums paid for by the taxpayer,would not like to have the BRAIN DRAIN that thinks This crap up.

[EBH]

I don’t know, but I am among the working poor who can’t afford insurance now. I’ve carried catastrophic coverage only, which is soon to be illegal under 0bamacare and all the quotes I am getting are impossible to afford.

[Lazamataz]

So, Obama is DIRECTLY trying to kill the poor, the disadvantaged, and the minorities.

KEEP VOTING OBAMA, INNER-CITY DENIZENS! Idiots.

[KosmicKitty]

What kind of fine would Mother Teresa have had to pay?

[I want the USA back]

This deserves contempt.

“In order to receive minimal attention by doctors and nursing personnel, patients had to pay bribes.”

The Affordable Healthcare Act, a/k/a, obamacare is designed to collapse the medical system and make possible the implementation of a one payer system. How long this will take I can't say, perhaps 20 years from today at the longest. This should happen around 2033 at the latest. probably much sooner. The average obama worshiper will be 28 to 50 years old at that time. Just in time to begin reaping their promised benefits that they were promised. The only problem is that the only benefits that will be available to them is suffering and death. The payer is the Government. It is what is commonly referred to as socialized Medicine. This is what politicians [who will and have exempted themselves], labor unions, and others have been clamoring for for years. They are about to get what they prayed for.

They will find that the medical system will be managed by Democrat Party political hacks who have no medical knowledge or experience, or the desire to obtain same. Their philosophy will be, " Each dollar I approve for someone's medical treatment is a dollar I won't to be to put in my pocket." Hence, very few who need it will get medical treatment. In Washington DC , the Program head will read the reports of how little of the allotted money his/her field directors spent and smile from ear to ear. Since the media will refuse to report the actual suffering of the people. The people will all be crying in unison, "This is all Bush's fault!"

A family that is 133% or below of the federal poverty level for their family size qualifies for Medicaid under Obamacare. Medicaid qualification was 100% or below before Obamacare. Families on Medicaid do not have to sign up for the exchange.

Instead of blaming Obama, we should be running our congresscritters to the ground over ‘affordable care.’

[Jane Long]

Or, St Jude’s? The one that all of the *hollyweirdo’s* appear in all the ads for. Will these *advocates* be outraged - at their god 0 - about this? Maybe it will get an exemption or waiver...

[Patriotic1]

"Have look and see what happens when certain churches try to get themselves exemptions instead of doing the right thing and fighting to have the entire monstrocity thrown out ." As a faithful and devout Catholic, I sadly have to agree with you. The liberal bishops in the USCCB will be the death of us.

[Salvation]

This is crazy. Now we can’t even practice the virtues of charity?

[Amagi]

ObamaCare is Pure Evil.

[RWB Patriot]

Whenever I read a story like this, I really wonder how much shame those who continue to insist Obamacare is the miracle of our time must be feeling. It must be hard, having to suppress one’s intelligence so as to continue to believe Obamacare is any kind of good.

[Mike Darancette]

..do they have to pay anything towards the premium or is it totally free to them but not the taxpayer

The really poor will have some form of free Medicaid. Those not so poor will have to pay full premium with a tax credit for the subsidy April 15 next year. Imagine a 60 yo couple forced onto the CA exchange with income of $2,500/mo having to pay $1,249/mo for healthcare.

[ballplayer]

According to Obamacare if you cant afford insurance and I am Guessing that if you are at or below the Poverty rate,you will go on Medicaid and Not have to pay or enroll in an exchange. Your only problem will be trying to find a Doctor to take you on and depending on your age,I hope you dont live In Oregon,they are rationing Chemotherapy to seniors,too much to spend for extending life for a few months,this philosophy will soon extend to just about every other Maladys that seniors have as Obama said in one of his town halls,Go home and take a Pill

Yes, they have been providing free specialty care for children since 1922.

The O_btard hates anything good, embraces anything vile.

He lies 24/7. And his actions show he serves the father of lies.

This will not end well.
