Recently Obama boasted that a few people saved a hundred dollars or so.. even if their premium went up.. the rebate is considered a savings by Obama.. but he already had a fee ready for most of that "savings"

basically everyone who is responsible and has coverage will offset the cost of those who have expensive to cover conditions.. or just didn't get health care because it was to pricey before..

Obamacare just raised your health care premium by $63

Among the regulations being rushed out the door by the Department of Health and Human Services 32 months after Obamacare passed is a requirement that every plan in America be subject to a $63 fee. That $63 is part of a fund to subsidize people with pre-existing conditions, who are more expensive to cover but whose costs must be transferred to healthier individuals in the new system.

The charge, buried in a recent regulation, works out to tens of millions of dollars for the largest companies, employers say. Most of that is likely to be passed on to workers.

Most of the money will go into a fund administered by the Health and Human Services Department. It will be used to cushion health insurance companies from the initial hard-to-predict costs of covering uninsured people with medical problems.

the Obama administration says in the regulation. An accompanying media fact sheet issued Nov. 30 referred to “contributions” without detailing the total cost and scope of the program.

Of the total pot, $5 billion will go directly to the U.S. Treasury, apparently to offset the cost of shoring up employer-sponsored coverage for early retirees.

The $25 billion fee is part of a bigger package of taxes and fees to finance Mr. Obama’s expansion of coverage to the uninsured.

paid to the insurance companies.. basically one of the bribes offered to gain their support..



just say it is a "contribution".. and not a tax...

either way... your health care costs just went up $63 a year..

and to make it look better about your health care costs skyroceting..

he his the next "contribution" you will now pay in your taxes

Scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, the tax, which was adopted as part of the 2010 health-care law, is a 3.8 percent levy on interest, dividends, capital gains and passive business income received by taxpayers

Because the new tax was added to the health-care law late in the process without congressional hearings, it received little attention at the time. With only a few weeks left before it takes effect, it remains largely unknown…

One problem with the unearned income Medicare contribution tax is the name Congress chose for it, which is a triple misnomer. The income that will be subject to the tax isn’t unearned — it is earned by savers who receive market rewards for delaying consumption and providing funds to finance business investment.

it is ok,.. it will not raise your healthcare costs ,.. at least not directly..
