10 Obamacare Facts the President Doesn’t Want You to Know

For those of you keeping track, Obamacare launches in lessthan 90 days! Healthcare as we know it here in America WILL change permanently and it’s time to get educated on the ins and outs of the legislation. The main concern for most American is the secretive nature of the entire program. We don’t know about you, but it’s extremely concerning for us as an Independent Insurance Agency and small business here in California not knowing what we should fully expect come October 2013.

President Obama and his staff have created a document consisting of 20,000+ pages that no American will ever be able to read through and the following 10 points are just a few of the highlights we have come across while studying the documents summaries:

  • There are currently 19 million people covered by individual health policies, and roughly 6 million of those enrolled will be hit with a 46% annual increase
  • About 3 million people will lose their health insurance completely due to the Congressional Budget Office projects (CBO)
  • Health insurers will most likely need toincrease premiums between 1-9% in order to manage costs
  • By 2019, an estimated 12 million people couldlose their company provided health benefits due to extreme cost for employers
  • Part-time employees will be forced to pay fortheir own health coverage out of pocket as the new law required any employeeincluded in insurance paperwork to work more than 30 hours weekly
  • The typical family will see an annual increaseof $2,100 for a family of four, and expected to cost around $20,000 by 2016
