ObamaCare Will Cost EVERY American More Money

It's been argued all through the election that the reforms involved in ObamaCare will negatively affect the taxpaying majority.

Those who already have insurance will pay more for premiums, and of course, taxes will go up.

But fewer are aware that these expenses will affect more than just the 53% of Americans paying federal income tax. Also hurt will be the 47% – the government beneficiaries who are not responsible for this federal income tax.

It's true government beneficiaries are at a high right now. And many will naturally prefer big government, where government programs are easier to come by.

The thing is, the 47% still do pay taxes – just not income tax. They still pay 15% on income for Medicare and Social Security. And they will pay for ObamaCare.

Jane Orient MD of MedCity News writes:

All Americans, including the working poor, will, as early as 2013, be hit with the medical device tax and the rest of some 18 ObamaCare-related tax hikes amounting to perhaps $500 billion.

In 2014, the employers will be hit as well. The plan will require everyone to pay something – whether it's a penalty or a premium. The premium will be higher and cover both services the employee will use and ones they never will.

And the effect on employers will threaten jobs. Looming employer mandates could cause job loss and layoffs as employers struggle to keep up with the rules and mandates.

Meanwhile, Medicaid will get lost in the dust. As providers try to fulfill the ObamaCare mandates, services to entitlement programs like Medicaid will slip.

Orient writes:

Republicans need to explain why they will repeal ObamaCare. Besides lower taxes for almost everyone, even those who don't pay federal income taxes, more people would be able to keep their current insurance, their doctor – and their job.

The problem isn't as deep the issue of having a high number of Americans in entitlement programs. Its simpler than that; people just don't have thorough information.

Of course, the number of Americans on entitlement programs is a problem. The government has almost encouraged dependence in a sort of twisted Münchausen-by-proxy way.

Orient stresses the need for a government that creates jobs and helps people find work in addition to helping them want to find work.

The real effects of ObamaCare could be its own downfall as people begin to realize how much they're expected to cough up for the program, even if they need government benefits more than others.

The trick, however, is getting people to realize what sort of effects this new healthcare reform will have on the majority of Americans. Because so far, it appears the 47% have no idea just how high their taxes will jump – even though they don't pay federal income tax at all.

Meanwhile, the 53% will also be harmed. Even if they are allowed to keep their doctor or healthcare provider, premiums could go through the roof.

And even if Medicaid beneficiaries are allowed to remain on the program, their services and quality of care will dwindle.
