Book excerpt: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the most significant overhaul to health care industry in decades. It includes unprecedented reforms to the American health care system. The implementation of this new health care law, otherwise known as Obamacare is at the height of concern for many who still don't understand its implications. Among the sea of new information to sift through, there are also misconceptions about the expectations and implementations of this law. Whether you need health coverage or have it already you may be concerned about the new regulations and how they will affect you. Many low to middle income Americans will have access to more affordable health insurance but those making above 400% of the federal poverty will likely pay more. Although the law has been rolled out over several years, the most notable changes take effect in January of 2014. Included in these changes are rights and protections for you, the consumer. These protections, do not apply to every insurance policy equally. This guide is designed to help you navigate the changes in policies and the new requirements for individuals and businesses. We'll explain the changes being implemented and you'll discover if you qualify for reduced premiums, what will happen if you select not to purchase health care, and how to make compare plans and policies in your state.

Download or read book How to Beat Obamacare written by Michael Mathiesen and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Beat ObamaCare is a business opportunity to become a Self-Insuring Health Care Provider that empowers any patriotic American citizen to legally avoid the unfair taxation of the so-called Affordable Care Act - ACA or Obamacare. Every patriotic American must stand up against one of the worst forms of tyranny in American history. We can and must see this as a tyranny of the highest magnitude because: This proposal was never run past the American People by any polling, or a web site debate, public hearing, town hall meeting or a National Ballot Measure as it could have been and should have been handled. Plus Congress was never even allowed to read it. It was conceived and written by the Health Insurance Providers who gave us the initial Health Care Crisis that this tyranny was meant to correct. Just as the First American Revolution was begun by the founding fathers throwing the British Tea back into Boston Harbor the Second American Revolution must be begun by throwing Obamacare back in the faces of the tyrants who force the youngest and healthiest Americans to pay for the Health Care of the old and the sickly. The concept of self-insurance has been around for centuries and some of the world's top corporations use it to save money. The concept is that if you have a known risk, you can buy insurance from an insurer who spreads the risk over a large pool of people or companies and protect their client from the bad event from happening to them. There can be a nice profit for the Insurance Company because many people want to protect themselves against the risk. BUT, the insurance company must do their homework and know what the odds are of the event happening to one of their insureds and then be sure to price their insurance properly so that when the event happens, they have enough money to pay the one person or company in 12,000 let's say, who have the misfortune of the event being insured against happening to them. The most common example is car insurance. We all carry it because we know that eventually we're going to get into a fender bender with another driver on the road someday. When it happens, there could be major injuries and property damage that could cost into the tens of thousands of dollars. We buy insurance at a few hundred dollars per year to protect us against having to come up with that kind of money when it happens to us. We see enough accidents on the road every day so that we know that eventually it could happen to us. So we buy insurance and the risk is spread across all the millions of other drivers who will not get into accidents for a long time and pay the insurance company enough money to pay for our accident when and if we have one. Some of us who don't buy car insurance are really taking the risk on our own shoulders and this is called Self-Insuring. Some of us who do this also are deadbeats so when the bills are presented, they skip town. But, this inconvenience is just another way of paying for one's mistakes. Most of us know this and so few of us really want to self-insure when it comes to car insurance. Of course in many states, it's illegal to drive a car without insurance so there is that risk of heavy fines or taxes by state governments if we don't carry insurance. This book details the risks and rewards of self-insuring in the area of your own physical Health vs. buying into Obamacare, which is now the law of the land. Most people will just go along with this tyranny and obey the law and blindly pay the money required to buy the useless health insurance presented under the Affordable Health Care Act. But, if you take the advice given in this book, and pledge yourself to live healthier all your life and also help your country get healthier, by fighting this unfair and tyrannical law, and show other Americans how to do the same, you will make enough money to purchase real Health Insurance similar to what Congress has and exempted themselves from Obamacare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Beat ObamaCare is a business opportunity to become a Self-Insuring Health Care Provider that empowers any patriotic American citizen to legally avoid the unfair taxation of the so-called Affordable Care Act - ACA or Obamacare. The system included in this book will save the average American thousands of dollars per month in Health Care Costs by passing on ObamaCare and taking responsibility for one's own health and by using Preventive and Alternative Health Care Providers. It's not known by most, but the biggest killer of the average person is the Medical Profession. These concepts give you immunity from that highly dangerous system and puts you into the safest zone. ObamaCare being written by the Health Insurance companies is the first Personal Income tax that goes to private corporations and not to our Government. Therefore, all patriotic Americans owe it to their country to fight this unconstitutional and tyrannical decision. Did we elect Barack Obama as President of the United States or as Top Insurance Salesman?

Download or read book Unraveled written by Josh Blackman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six years after its enactment, Obamacare remains one of the most controversial, divisive, and enduring political issues in America. In this much-anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed Unprecedented: The Constitutional Challenge to Obamacare (2013), Josh Blackman argues that, to implement the law, President Obama has broken promises about cancelled insurance policies, exceeded the traditional bounds of executive power, and infringed on religious liberty. At the same time, conservative opponents have stopped at nothing to unravel Obamacare, including a three-week government shutdown, four Supreme Court cases, and fifty repeal votes. This legal thriller provides the definitive account of the battle to stop Obamacare from being 'woven into the fabric of America'. Unraveled is essential reading to understand the future of the Affordable Care Act in America's gridlocked government in 2016, and beyond.

Download or read book America s Bitter Pill written by Steven Brill and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • “A tour de force . . . a comprehensive and suitably furious guide to the political landscape of American healthcare . . . persuasive, shocking.”—The New York Times America’s Bitter Pill is Steven Brill’s acclaimed book on how the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, was written, how it is being implemented, and, most important, how it is changing—and failing to change—the rampant abuses in the healthcare industry. It’s a fly-on-the-wall account of the titanic fight to pass a 961-page law aimed at fixing America’s largest, most dysfunctional industry. It’s a penetrating chronicle of how the profiteering that Brill first identified in his trailblazing Time magazine cover story continues, despite Obamacare. And it is the first complete, inside account of how President Obama persevered to push through the law, but then failed to deal with the staff incompetence and turf wars that crippled its implementation. But by chance America’s Bitter Pill ends up being much more—because as Brill was completing this book, he had to undergo urgent open-heart surgery. Thus, this also becomes the story of how one patient who thinks he knows everything about healthcare “policy” rethinks it from a hospital gurney—and combines that insight with his brilliant reporting. The result: a surprising new vision of how we can fix American healthcare so that it stops draining the bank accounts of our families and our businesses, and the federal treasury. Praise for America’s Bitter Pill “An energetic, picaresque, narrative explanation of much of what has happened in the last seven years of health policy . . . [Brill] has pulled off something extraordinary.”—The New York Times Book Review “A thunderous indictment of what Brill refers to as the ‘toxicity of our profiteer-dominated healthcare system.’ ”—Los Angeles Times “A sweeping and spirited new book [that] chronicles the surprisingly juicy tale of reform.”—The Daily Beast “One of the most important books of our time.”—Walter Isaacson “Superb . . . Brill has achieved the seemingly impossible—written an exciting book about the American health system.”—The New York Review of Books

Download or read book Success Or Failure written by Henry Chao and published by Advantage Media Group. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Untold Story While most people refer to HealthCare.gov as "just a website," few knew what it took to launch and what went into creating it. So much oversimplification went into a public discussion of the technological aspects of the launch, which perpetuated the notion that technology is at the root of how government can't efficiently get things done. Success or Failure? The Untold Story of HealthCare.gov provides a firsthand account of what it takes to deliver something as complex as HealthCare.gov from contributing factors other than technology, such as policy formulation, government rulemaking, groundbreaking security and privacy policy implementation across multiple agencies, and much more. Henry Chao seeks to unravel the key elements that affected the implementation of a time-bounded, precedent-setting set of public policy objectives--the Insurance Marketplace program under the Affordable Care Act. This book will shed light on: -the scale and complexity involved in creating the HealthCare.gov infrastructure, -nontechnical factors that led to the controversial rollout, -how October 1, 2013 was the starting line, not the finish line, and -the various narratives that did not truthfully explain what really happened. Reaching the October 1, 2013 deadline was nothing short of remarkable, due to the dedication and commitment of so many people from various professional disciplines across the public and private sectors. Now, Henry Chao reflects on the launch of HealthCare.gov and what it takes to implement great change in the health care system.

In Overcoming Obamacare, the Washington Examiner's Philip Klein, one of the leading conservative health care writers, takes readers inside the fierce debate on the right on how to overhaul the health care system in the wake of Obamacare. Drawing on eight years of experience reporting on the issue, dozens of interviews with prominent health policy experts, and conversations with Republican political leaders including Bobby Jindal and Paul Ryan, Klein articulates a free market vision for health care and presents three competing paths to getting there.

Download or read book The Ten Year War written by Jonathan Cohn and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Cohn's The Ten Year War is the definitive account of the battle over Obamacare, based on interviews with sources who were in the room, from one of the nation's foremost healthcare journalists. The Affordable Care Act, better known as “Obamacare,” was the most sweeping and consequential piece of legislation of the last half century. It has touched nearly every American in one way or another, for better or worse, and become the defining political fight of our time. In The Ten Year War, veteran journalist Jonathan Cohn offers the compelling, authoritative history of how the law came to be, why it looks like it does, and what it’s meant for average Americans. Drawn from hundreds of hours of interviews, plus private diaries, emails and memos, The Ten Year War takes readers to Capitol Hill and to town hall meetings, inside the West Wing and, eventually, into Trump Tower, as the nation's most powerful leaders try to reconcile pragmatism and idealism, self-interest and the public good, and ultimately two very different visions for what the country should look like. At the heart of the book is the decades-old argument over what’s wrong with American health care and how to fix it. But the battle over healthcare was always about more than policy. The Ten Year War offers a deeper examination of how our governing institutions, the media and the two parties have evolved, and the dysfunction those changes have left in their wake.

Download or read book Deadly Spin written by Wendell Potter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That's how Wendell Potter introduced himself to a Senate committee in June 2009. He proceed to explain how insurance companies make promises they have no intention of keeping, how they flout regulations designed to protect consumers, and how they make it nearly impossible to understand information that the public needs. Potter quit his high-paid job as head of public relations at a major insurance corporation because he could no longer abide the routine practices of the insurance industry, policies that amounted to a death sentence for thousands of Americans every year. In Deadly Spin, Potter takes readers behind the scenes of the insurance industry to show how a huge chunk of our absurd healthcare expenditures actually bankrolls a propaganda campaign and lobbying effort focused on protecting one thing: profits. With the unique vantage of both a whistleblower and a high-powered former insider, Potter moves beyond the healthcare crisis to show how public relations works, and how it has come to play a massive, often insidious role in our political process-and our lives. This important and timely book tells Potter's remarkable personal story, but its larger goal is to explain how people like Potter, before his change of heart, can get the public to think and act in ways that benefit big corporations-and the Wall Street money managers who own them.

Book excerpt: A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAACP IMAGE AWARD NOMINEE • NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND PEOPLE NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times • NPR • The Guardian • Slate • Vox • The Economist • Marie Claire In the stirring first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil. Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune’s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden. A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective—the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.
