I notice that the article does not contain a link to this study.

A commenter on the article left this response:

“The headline is wrong. Tennessee will get help paying for the increased price of the new mandated insurance. But anyone who thinks that Tennessee is actually getting any money is going to be in for a serious let down.

This is essentially a rebate giving people money back on a mandatory purchase. Since the price of the item is going up the actual impact on Tennesseans will have to be seen, but the expectation - from the Obama administration - is that health insurance costs will be higher with reform.

Reform as written may or may not be a good thing, but the CA should at least try to write the headlines correctly. A better shot at it would have been “Tennessee to get $2.7 billion to defray cost of health care reform bill”

And lets not get started on who they are getting the $2.7 billion from - people who pay federal income tax. So if you pay no federal income tax this is wealth redistribution; if you do it is just returning money they took from you (but with conditions). Again you may think this is good or bad, but lets not act like it is money from heaven. The CA should contribute to the financial education of its readers, not encourage financial ignorance by leaving these key details out.”

Because the dead may vote, but they do not incur healthcare costs.

“The new study is from Families USA...”

All you need to read. This is a Marxist propangada organization: perpetually dishonest. Very, very bad uncritical “reporting” by the Commerical Appeal.

Leftnuts are bewitched in the liberal fairytale of Obamacare, and these are the numbers they conjure up. As for real numbers, with the increase in insurance premiums and tight budgets, my family is averaging approximately $400 less a month than we did last year, or what will come to $4,800 less into our economy. Fuel is going back up as the stock market plays on in wonderland. ...Remember the days when a healthy stock market meant a better economy for everyone, ...not in this Obamascare. A rising stock market doesn’t mean jobs or better salaries. It means higher prices at the pump and checkout lines. Two more years of this leftist, omnipotent government crap, and America will be near unsalvageable.

Corrected headline:

Taxpayers to pay billions for rebates for expensive mandated healthcare

The "study" is by a liberal pro-Obamacare group shilling an agenda.

I just shake my head and want to throw up my arms. Memphis has some serious basic issues. A couple of roads that I travel every day are always completely littered with trash and broken glass and empty forties. Last week I finally saw a couple of city workers trying to clean up...moving very slowly. I’d get out and do it myself but it’s just not safe. I kid you not, three days later the roadsides were all trashed up again. The people here sh*t where they live...pretty literally.

Remember, the Commercial Appear is the Commie rag that published the names and addresses of concealed carry permit holders. Traitors to the militia of the United States, in my book.

Tennesseans will save $2.7 billion on health care insurance when health care reform is in place in 2014, according to a new study.

At first glance, this looks like the old Communist promises. Tighten your belts, bear down on that yoke; then things will be better in five years. But that assumes that the policy will work as intended, that the far fetched assumptions about behavior will somehow come true, and that all participants will welcome the sacrifices.

The tax credits, as part of the federal budget, are funded by additional taxes on private health insurers, businesses, “fees” for individuals who do not buy health insurance, and other federal taxes.

The net “savings” will be less than zero as the cost of raising the federal revenue to offset the “tax credits” ripples throughout the economy; raising costs and prices throughout the economy; while the ignorant sheeple are led to believe they are getting something for nothing in their “tax credits”.

100% of all “cost reductions”, for ANYONE, due to Obamacare DO NOT entail any real cost reductions, only cost shifting from somewhere in the private economy to federal revenue, federal power and federal authority, with federal taxes to pay for the “cost reduction”.

What Obamcare gives with one hand it takes with the other. There is no free lunch, for anything.
