Im posting 100% of the changes created by PPACA, often referred-to as Obamacare - one at a time. Ive already listed all of the distinct changes, now lets talk about practice. As before, please let me know when you see something that looks like a bad idea. What determines whether or not you can afford the mandate? Will you be forced to pay for insurance you cant afford? Kaiser actually has a webpage with a pretty good rundown on this, if youre worried about it. You can see it here kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2010/March/22/consumers-guide-health-reform.aspx Medicaid can now be used by everyone up to 133% of the poverty line (basically, a lot more poor people can get insurance) ( Citation: Page 198, sec. 2001 ) (Note: The recent court ruling says that states can opt out of this and that the Federal government cannot penalize them by withholding Medicaid funding, but as far as I can tell, nothing is stopping the Federal government from simply just offering incentives to those who do opt to do it, instead) Small businesses get some tax credits for two years. (It looks like this is specifically for businesses with 25 or fewer employees) ( Citation: Page 157, sec. 1421 ) Businesses with over 50 employees must offer health insurance to full-time employees, or pay a penalty. ( Citation: Page 174, sec. 4980H ) Problem?
