Buffalo_Gal Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The Little Sister's of the Poor won again. The Court has upheld the exemptions from the ACA's birth-control mandate for private employers with religious and moral objections.This case is a challenge to the 2017 rules issued by the Trump administration that expanded the exemption from Affordable Care Act’s birth-control mandate, which generally requires employers to provide their female employees with health insurance that includes access to certain forms of contraceptives. The rules expanded the exemption to allow private employers with religious or moral objections to the mandate to opt out of providing coverage. "We hold that the Departments had the authority to provide exemptions from the regulatory contraceptive requirements for employers with religious and conscientious objections." The vote is 7-2. (Ginsburg has a dissenting opinion, joined by Sotomayor) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a reminder......the far left that Biden will most certainly embrace when in office, said that Obamacare was going to fix things......never thought Obamacare fixed anything. The intent was to break the system completely and go Medicare for all. People like this should never be given power: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just refilled my wife's insulin last week. Still the same price as it has been. I appreciate the move but wish it wasn't just a symbolic move and wasn't sold with a lie attached (pennies a day before anyone asks). Insulin cost is a very real issue for millions of Americans. I won't call it a triumph though until there are actual verifiable results. I did some digging and came across this: https://www.factcheck.org/2020/09/viral-post-wrongly-ties-cost-drop-to-trumps-prescription-bill/ “the administration hasn’t implemented any of the executive orders the President issued in July,” she told us in an email. “There’s a voluntary insulin program that’s going to go into effect next year (which is to say that it isn’t in effect now), but it will only assist a subset of Medicare beneficiaries.” That program begins Jan. 1, 2021, and will apply to “a subset of plans and enrollees, and not all insulin products have to be covered by all participating plans,” according to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis. It does not affect costs for people who are uninsured or have other coverage. The centers already provide a sliding scale based on income, though, so how much the costs would go down for those recipients depends on how the Department of Health and Human Services ultimately defines “low-income.” and this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/insulin-pennies-a-day-trump/ What's True Trump issued an executive order in July 2020 that was intended to lower the price of insulin for some Americans. What's False Rather than targeting all diabetic patients nationwide, the directive was written to help low-income diabetes patients of certain community clinics, who are uninsured or underinsured, to buy insulin at reduced prices. Also, no verifiable evidence suggests that the lower costs would amount to "pennies a day" for anyone. What's Undetermined Exactly how much money some diabetes patients could save on insulin daily as a result of the directive is unknown because the order did not outline specifics, including when or how it would be implemented. So to recap, in regard to the claim in question, it was true to state Trump signed an executive order in July 2020 that aimed to make it easier for low-income diabetic patients to pay for insulin. But nowhere in the federal document did the presidential administration explain its plan for implementing the change, nor the level to which insulin prices would drop. There was no proof that the order would allow any American to someday pay “pennies a day” on the protein hormone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My healthcare got far worse and more expensive after the first round. Can’t wait for the next ‘improvement’.

B-Man Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Profiles in Courage it ain’t, but for Democrats, it will suffice. The removal of the individual-mandate penalty — the basis for the Supreme Court’s 2012 upholding of ObamaCare — didn’t get resolved in today’s 7-2 Supreme Court dismissal of the challenge. Instead, the court ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the case at all. Call it the easy way out: A seven-justice majority ruled that the plaintiffs had not suffered the sort of direct injury that gave them standing to sue. The court did not reach the larger issues in the case: whether the bulk of the sprawling 2010 health care law, President Barack Obama’s defining domestic legacy, could stand without a provision that initially required most Americans to obtain insurance or pay a penalty. https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2021/06/17/breaking-obamacare-wins-the-scotus-hat-trick-7-2-on-standing-n397383 Edited June 17, 2021 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 See, Obama is a lot like Jesus, he heals the sick 23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.

Tommy Callahan Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 U.S. Health Insurance Premiums Rise 7%, Near $24K for Family Coverage The average annual cost of employer-sponsored health insurance premiums rose from $7,911 in 2022 to $8,435 in 2023 for coverage of single individuals and from $22,463 to $23,968 for family coverage, according to a new analysis by health research organization KFF based on survey results from a sample of U.S. firms. This year’s higher premiums come after costs rose 1% for family coverage and 2% for individual coverage from 2021 to 2022 But its funny and predictable how the statist above is mentioning OBAMA and Jesus in the same sentence.
