OHCHUTE 0 #1 October 21, 2013 If a state doesn't have a healthcare exchange, but a person from that state signs on to the FEDS healthcare website to buy insurance: THEY DON'T GET A SUBSIDY to help pay the premium. State shouldn't be libel for any tax fine. State is not a tax payer. It seems, if the state doesn't have a website then many people of that state will not subscribe to the healthcare as they won't get the subsidy. Chances are, they will not subscribe to the FEDs website for the same reason. They attempted to induce states to build their own sites but many didn't. Only those states that have healthcare websites will get tax breaks which will go to pay subsidies. http://www.ibj.com/state-public-schools-sue-federal-government-over-obamacare/PARAMS/article/43946 Judge is suppose to supply ruling tomorrow at 10 AM.

OHCHUTE 0 #3 October 21, 2013 airdvrWhy doesn't IN have an exchange? I presume they elected not to build one. In VA, their website is nothing more than a placemat that redirects to the FED website. Not sure if VA's website constitutes an exchange. Like I said before, exchanges hardly work, especially in this case as IRS, HHS databases need to talk to each other. The Insurance firms are complaining. Use of a Canadian firm for software using decade old technology when US firms using RUBY might have been better. The republicans really screwed up on this one, as they should have simply kept their mouths shut about defunding Obamacare and let it fail on its own account. The people who are attempting to get insurance are the lowest of the low with multiple chronic illnesses. Which will undoubtedly increase the cost to healthcare across the board.

Amen, kill off the sick ones, that makes insurance cheaper for everyone healthy. Oh and make sure to get cash up front, no more of this "oh you are dying, I guess we have to save you" crap. Prepay, just like gas. "also questions whether federal officials can impose an employer mandate and a tax penalty on state and local government. " SPOILER ALERT: yes, they can.
