Thirty-six states that rely on private managed care programs to provide medical services to all or some of their Medicaid recipients are facing an added ObamaCare tax.
According to a report by Milliman consulting actuaries, states that contract with Medicaid managed care plans face up to $15 billion in added costs over 10 years for their share of the law’s tax on private health insurance.
States will pay even if they strongly oppose ObamaCare and are refusing to establish health insurance exchanges or expand Medicaid.
The health law imposes an annual tax on private health insurance plans – a tax designed to recoup what some call their “windfall” from the millions of new customers they could gain because of the law. The tax on health insurers was expected to raise a total of $8 billion in 2014 and as much as $150 billion over the next 10 years. It is one of 20 designed to fund ObamaCare’s expanded coverage.

The article doesn’t say which states
States need to slap Obamacare with nullification of an unconstitutional federal law.
Arizona has just enacted such a law allowing the state to nullify unconstitutional federal acts.
One of the main points of Obamacare was to punish the enemies of the left.
You voted for it America.
True - life is becoming unaffordable.
But opposing this would mean you’re a racist. :)
Real, punitive taxes based on speculative future gains. Yep. Sounds like Liberal tax logic alright.
Only a return of the states to the senate can stop this sort of oppression cold. There is little time.
Mr. Robinson, I have recently been diagnosed with yet another A vascular Necrosis Hip. AVN. Getting it replaced soon. Second hip. Sux. Trying to outrun these bastards!!
Pretty sure you understand!
Poobear!
Prayers up!
I had a knee replaced last year. Good luck. Lots of hard work, but worth it.
good luck with your operation, will it be Panama or India?
I AM A RACIST !!!
Just one? anyone?
Not to worry. These states can just raise tax rates for the “rich” people.
Well, it is good for the economy and the unemployment figures. After all, 15,000 more IRS agents is nothing to sniff at!~~
Unfunded Mandates.
States should sue the Feds.
Well, we’re also going to need another million or so affirmative action M.D.s. to meet new demand.
Maybe we can import some of those Cuban doctors? They say they are the best in the world and work cheap!
actually we didn’t.
all democrats and no republicans voted for it.
and nobody had time to read it before the vote was called.
and it was passed under illegal circumstances, started in the senate by gutting a prior passed bill.
and the scotus rewrote it, illegally.
so don’t sit here and say “america” voted for it. our side didn’t and we didn’t have anyone representing us do anything substantial to stop it. either in the legislature or the courts.
Arizona has just enacted such a law allowing the state to nullify unconstitutional federal acts.
Things are starting to unravel fast.
