In the olden days it was also not supposed to be used as ID but now they’re talking about putting your picture on it to be used as ID.

ah but now obamacare can demand repayment of any “subsidies” received for an “affordable” obamacare policy!

They specifically made it for age 55 and above, all those folks getting forced by unemployment or trickle up poverty into MEDICAID and subsidies, but too young for Medicare

And you can also get screwed if your income goes up or family circumstances change - then the IRS will come after you to repay your healthcare insurance “subsidy"..guess they can also come after your heirs if you die, they seem determined to get the assets of the elderly and middle class, to redistribute

and Nancy Pelosi stands there and parses this as the AFFORDABLE AFFORDABLE AFFORDABLE Care Act

It's a govt loan, not a "subsidy"

I thought about that and prayed the whole black community would be up in arms, since they have a lot of ancestors who were on disability and other forms of government programs....if there is outstanding debt the IRS said they would get it from descendants and family members. This may get changed once zero and the democratss running for office realize who it was.

Corruption of Blood

The doctrine of corruption of blood mandated that when a person committed a criminal or treasonous act, he and his entire family became outlaws...
Why the founding fathers rejected corruption of blood remains unclear, but they seem to have been concerned about creating familial, rather than individual, punishment...

And most people aren’t even aware of it. Obama care removed the asset limits, so more people qualify for Medicaid, and there’s not an alternate on the exchanges. So people either accept the Medicaid, or pay a fine. Quite a little pincher manuver.

Then there is the Medicaid expansion that is being pushed for those at 139% of poverty. I haven’t heard anyone mention to the people that are for it, that the government will lay claim to the recipient’s estate.

I talked to my State Senator about this on Friday. Nary a word from the people pushing this, and the Republican response that gets press? There’s not such thing as a free lunch. Pubbies just can’t articulate facts that help their case it seems.

Hypthetically, the people can go on Medicaid, never use it, and drop dead at home, and I guess their estate will be charged for the “value of that insurance”. That could be some serious bucks, depending how they calculate it.

My private insurance was a 5000 dollar deductible 80/20 with no Rx, for just me and it cost me $800 dollars a month. I never spent more than %500/year for my medical care during all that time. I did benefit from the insurance company’s negotiated rate vs the individual rate for non-insured.

Medicare is funded by the Social Security Administration. Which means it’s funded by taxpayers: We all pay 1.45% of our earnings into FICA - Federal Insurance Contributions Act, if you’re into deciphering acronyms - which go toward Medicare. Employers pay another 1.45%, bringing the total to 2.9%. (If you’re self-employed, you must cough up the entire 2.9%.) The Medicare deduction on your paycheck might say FICA-HI. The HI refers to Health Insurance, and it’s your premium cost for all Medicare coverage.While our FICA taxes to cover payments into the Social Security system are levied only on the first $106,800 in earnings for 2010, the Medicare tax is levied on every penny you earn
