33 States are making the Federal Government Set Up Their Exchanges

It disturbs me that 33 states are making the Federal Government set up the exchanges in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Congressman were paid $29,000 for working 9 nines in August, they receive a "Golden" healthcare plan for LIFE once elected, and spend most of their time raising money and satisfying their base. When their constituents let them know that as much as 95% of them want to require background checks for purchasing a gun, they vote against them. Now, with their given healthcare plans, for life, they want to deny 30 million Americans without affordable healthcare to go to the emergency room if they need care, the most expensive way to provide healthcare. What I find hard to believe is that people vote these useless, lying, greedy, politicians into office. WAKE UP AMERICA! Read the facts about states that have already implemented the law.

On September 5, 2013 the New England Journal of Medicine posted an article: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1308032?query=TOC#t=comments you might want to read to get real facts about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

The GOP leadership is still debating how to handle the pressure from conservatives for a vote on the CR to cut off all funding for health care reform.

The Obstructionist Tea Party is still pushing for shutdown of the government unless the ACA is completely defunded. Only 16 states and D.C. are going to run state based exchanges. The exchanges open October 1, 2013 with coverage to begin as early as January 1, 2014. The obstructionist continue the misinformation campaign to confuse the public as to what the Affordable Care Act does. They have a focus on young people to discourage signing up. The more young people that sign up, the lower the costs will be because it spreads the risk for insurance companies as they are healthier. It is advantageous for young people to sign up because studies show that they will see a doctor 2.7 times a year and for those visits, and any labs or x-rays will bring the cost to more than what a plan will cost.

Some technical glitches exist including how medical charges and deductibles are listed, industry officials say. Health insurers planning to sell policies say they expect the glitches to be fixed by the October 1, 2013 commencement of signing up. Huffington Post had an article recently posted on this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/05/obamacare-health-insurance_n_3870784.html

Getting the 30 million people in America who can't afford health care is a good thing. Please contact you Congressman and Senators and tell them to do something other than for themselves.
