Federal government releases long-awaited health reform rules

[backspur]

My family is feeling the first affects of Obamacare. The amount I can contribute to a health flexible spending account has been reduced by $2500. That is $2500 I wil now have to pay taxes on. On the plus side, I guess I just jumped a social class. It's funny though, I don't feel any richer.

The American people should be spitting mad about the fact that we have such a huge piece of legislation that dramatically effects every single person and NOBODY seems to even have a clue as to what is going on with it.

It is absolutely disgusting.

They all just ran out of mad after the patriot act.

My premiums are actually dropping $60 a month next year, but i think that has more to do with the 80/20 rule. We'll see if it stays that way...

So-called open enrollment starts in October 2013, and plans offered on the exchanges should begin providing coverage in Jan. 1, 2014. But the rules have been so late in coming out, and the states have delayed their decisions for so long, that some critics say they doubt the federal government or state states wil be ready on time. HHS’s Gary Cohen denies this. “Absolutely, we will be ready. There will be an exchange in every state open for business on October 1 of next year,” he said.

Yeah...Right...

Millions of people voted for the type of politicians who pushed this through.

Which goes to show that if millions of people voted to jump off a cliff, we'd have plenty of lemmings to follow them.
