After years of promotion, lobbying and political wrangling, health insurance exchanges are opening for business today across the country as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Under the health care overhaul, people without health insurance are mandated to purchase coverage from private insurers or face a penalty. Coverage for enrollees is set to begin January 1, 2014.
The insurance exchange launch is a milestone in a process that, in the guise of “reform,” has been aimed at funneling billions of dollars into the coffers of the private health insurers and slashing costs for the government and corporations. In the end, it will leave tens of millions uninsured and others with vastly deteriorated medical services.

Undocumented workers and their families are barred from purchasing coverage on the exchanges. Due to a “family glitch” in the law, businesses are only required to provide “affordable” insurance to their employees, not to their employees’ families, so those family members will not receive subsidies to purchase coverage on the exchanges.

Of course it's not anything like our health care system. It's fucking America, and they're so insanely scared of anything that the woo-woo brigade (that's you, btw, melbark) can convince the tea-party nutters is "socialist", that an Australian type health care system would stand no chance of getting approval. So you can thank the right wing nutbaggery, rife in the USofA, for the bastardised system that Obama was forced inflict on the people, as the least worst option that they would accept.mellie wrote:Obamacare is worse than I thought, and if anyone is silly enough to believe it's an inclusive, humane, Australian inspired Medicare-like socially responsible health care package should really take another look at it.
It's a disgrace, socially irresponsible and dangerous.
It's geared towards handing more of the financial responsibility of low-income Americans health care requirements over to private health insurance companies, many of which aren’t even American companies and could fold offshore unbeknown to those who have purchased insurance.
