Doesn't sound too bad to me.<br /><br />But the law provides for subsidies for low- and middle-class people to buy health care in the new state exchanges. It’s on a sliding scale, with help available for families earning up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level, currently around $92,000 for a family of four.<br /><br />Some people are also exempt from the mandate on hardship grounds. That includes people so poor that they don’t have to file taxes (income around $9,500 for individuals and $19,000 for married couples) and people who have access to health care through a job but would have to spend more than 8 percent of family income to take it up (after employer contributions and federal subsidies are taken into account).<br /><br /><br /><br />Read more: <br />http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0612/77997.htmlborn2Bmenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-83653594159564822552012-06-28T18:15:36.750-05:002012-06-28T18:15:36.750-05:00KAVU should do more reading before going on the ai...KAVU should do more reading before going on the air...The reporter said Obamacare will enacted in 2014 .Wrong,it's in place now the mandate will take force in 2014.<br /><br />Dr. Starkey said it will be more expensive and some people will not be able to afford it but he didn't say that Medicaid will be expanded ,exchanges will start to take place etc.<br /><br />I heard about a cap on a medicine bottle will be equipped with a sensor and wifi enabled to alert doctors and family if a loved one forgets to take meds..it will also alert pharmacy if medicine gets low...of course it will make meds more expensive.<br /><br /> Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-39104520416289856622012-06-28T17:28:28.718-05:002012-06-28T17:28:28.718-05:00Good point Tophat,my sentiments exactly.
