>_^_ The U.S. 50 State ACA - Affordable (Private Health Insurance Access) Care Act 2010/ObamaCare Marketplace is open for enrollment to those who have no health care benefit at work or no work at present.  Health Care insurance is offered by participating “private” health insurance providers, with a range of plans, prices and deductable options available from 10-01-13 to 03-31-14 (a six month window). ::
<>
[26 some Redneck Koch-Tea Governed &/or Legislature States* have “rejected” the “3 year free Medicare Expansion” benefit for their state’s neediest residents.  Also deflected were thousands of jobs, dozens of billions of health care income dollars and state income tax windfalls.  (After 3 years, states are required to pick up just 10% of the Medicare Expansion cost to cover the neediest residents. *AL, *AK, *FL, *GA, *ID, *IN, *KS, *LA, *ME, *MI (Delayed to 04-01-14), *MS, *MO, *MT, *NE, *NH, *NC, *OH, *OK, *PA, *SC, *SD, *TN, *TX, *UT, *VA, *WI, & *WY )]
<>
[NOTE 1:  The ACA/ObamaCare Website is handling traffic from 36 states and 5 territories that don’t have or couldn’t implement State Exchanges, or just rejected State Exchanges and spurned the Medicare Extension Coverage for their most underserved residents.  The 14 (much smaller) Individual State Health Insurance Exchanges are said to be working well.  (96% of all Website Roll Outs, exceeding $10 million to implement, failed and had to be fixed over a period of months.)
<>
The “unfunded” and “unbudgeted” Medicare D program rolled out by the George W. Bush Administration in 2006, (that cost taxpayers far “more” than the Affordable [Private Health Insurance Access &] Care Act), failed miserably at its initiation too.  But unlike now, Democrats joined with Republicans in calling for fixing those glitches and kerfuffle’s in Medicare D, accepting the settled “uncontested” law.  President Obama put “both” Medicare D & ObamaCare “in the budget” of the United States Government. 
Congress needs to fund them both by taxing “Pay-To-Play Sacred Cows” like Multinational “Corporate Welfare” Queen Recipients and the Forbes 400 Kings.  Those interests have mutually used our collective commons resources, our infrastructure, and bought many of our politicians who introduced “Boutique Legislation” that continue to exploit “our tax code” so they can become richer …since 1981 as Ronald Reagan reignited Class Warfare, a dynamic income shift best characterized as “Trickle-Up,” not “Trickle-Down” Economics.  From then to now, lobbyists numbers went from just 300 to 30,000+.]
[Note 2:  Thank the gay English code-cracking mathematician and World War II Hero, Alan Turing, for ciphering early “computer code” which produced a communication venue which circumvents Corp’s and Oligarch’s “Ad Propaganda Media” (even if “they do monitor” …lol).  And though Turing committed suicide rather than subject himself of British court mandated injections or prison, computer communication of truth means we “don’t” have to repeat what Fascism did to his generation. 
<>
The 1% has corrupted paperless track-free electronic voting machines though.  Wealthy U.S. Republicans own the Corp’s that manufacture them; and electronic voting machines are easily hacked by a high-school computer nerds and more sophisticated programmers alike.  Returning to “physical evidence” producing paper ballots is a necessity …in order to avoid the austerity of the GO Pee “Golden Shower” on the entire social safety net, and prevent tag-along Blue-Dog Corporate Dems from rusting the fire plug reg’s on Wall Street to keep up w/the Joneses and stay in a country club.]

/\/
Click_ Blue_ Links < /\/see Intro_ Quotes_ Credits/\/

[A Tea Party Letter to destroy ACA sent to Speaker Boehner …answers the question:  Why Boehner rejected “his own budget proposal” approved by the U.S. Senate & POTUS, and the House Speaker “moved the goal posts back” by adding “poison pill” language to the bill with “defund/delay ACA implementation” 4 times. 
His counter proposals were rejected 4x.  He wants to stop a Tea Party Candidate from running against him in 2014.  They voted against the bill 44 times at a cost of over $1 million each.]
Defunding Endorsed by 78 Republican Koch-Teahadists & Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-*NC-7) & Rep. Jim Matheson (D-*UT-4) ::

30 States with 80 U.S. House Reps "Districts of Republicans who signed a letter demanding that John Boehner pass legislation to defund ObamaCare (Map Source: The Cook Political Report) ::
"On August 21st, (U.S.) Congressman Mark Meadows sent a letter to John Boehner.  Meadows is a former restaurant owner and Sunday-school Bible teacher from North Carolina. ...wanted Boehner to use the threat of a government shutdown to defund ObamaCare, a course Boehner had publicly ruled out. ...North Carolina’s Eleventh District had been gerrymandered after the 2010 census to become the most Republican district in his state.  ...eighty-seven per cent white, five per cent Latino, and three per cent black." ::
"Before Meadows sent off his letter to Boehner, he circulated it among his colleagues, and with the help of the conservative group FreedomWorks ...Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Mike Lee, seventy-nine like-minded House Republicans from districts very similar to Meadows’s added their signatures."

Economics-Budget-Social Safety Net-2010_HEALTH CARE-PRIVATE INS-02A, INFO, Affordable (Private Health Insurance Access &) Care Act 2010, Democrat’s “ObamaCare” like RomneyCare (MA), & NeoCon “Think Tank” Heritage Foundation’s Health-Mandate Ins-Corp Profit-Care, & NixonCare 1973};
Explained:: State-By-State Breakdown
:

ACA’s effects include:
(A.) Regulating Private Health Insurance (H.I.) Corp Profits, limiting Corp C.E.O.’s  pay package & restricting cost increases to policy holder’s;
(B.) Guaranteeing Americans Access to H.I. at lower rates w/o discrimination;
(C.) “Medicare Savings” of $71.6 Billion/yr was transferred “to ObamaCare” over 10 yrs (from terminated “Medicare Fraud,” “Medicare A” private Corp administration fee/cost escalation & other waste);
10 Yrs savings totals $716 Billion;
(D.) Those savings will be used to assist Americans who can “least afford” the entire cost of the mandate; The savings supplements their payments for “private” H.I. w/o raising taxes $71.6 Billion per yr or affecting Medicare Services;
(E.) Improving overall population health …response to communicable & preventable diseases, & curb premature death;
(F.) ObamaCare bolsters the U.S. Hospital, Clinic & Doctor care delivery system with 33 million+ more “insured” paying Americans, while simultaneously reducing the burden of indigent care on tax payers & all health providers :: LINK/URL
< http://www.barackobama.com/health-care/stories?source=20120322-faces_of_change-fb_like_btn%2F

>_^_ EXPANDED BREAKDOWN INCLUDES:
(1) ACA/ObamaCare mandates that H.I. Corps pay 100% (no ded.) for many preventative care diagnostic medical tests, and Dr. visits; Access reduces expensive Emergency Room visits that burden the whole American Hospital System & U.S. Tax Payers;
(2) H.I. Corp’s Can’t take a policy away on a technicality, (when you get sick & they have to pay) like they did routinely before ACA 2010; Oversights on reporting personal “medical history” to the H.I.C.’s don’t qualify as legally valid reasons to dump customers; (H.I.C.’s “were” real “Death Panels”(a Sarah Palin red herring) before ACA 2010);

(3) Citizens Can’t be turned down for “Private” H.I. or over-charged as of 1-14;
(4) Pre-Existing Conditions Don’t affect policy pricing or accessibility to H.I.;
(5) Women pay the “same price” as men (versus 30 – 50% more before ACA 2010);
(6) Adult children can stay on the Family H.I. Policy until their 26th birthday;

(7) If an American’s wages are around base level (Ex.: @$23,000/yr), she/he pays No More than 9.5% or $2,145/yr in income for an H.I. policy, and Uncle Sam’s got the remainder (bec. American’s health & productivity is critical to the U.s economy & “communicable diseases,” (even mental illness), require medical intervention for pop. health);
<>
(8) Beginning in 2014, H.I.C.’s Can’t place a “lifetime cap on benefits” and tell you to drop dead like they can & do now (H.I. Corp’s Death Panels);
(9) In 2014, Americans Can leave their secure big Corp job, it’s “Cadillac” Family H.I. Plan & find reasonably priced insurance for Self-Employment, a Career Transition, or a Creative “Start-Up Business” w/insured healthy employees (aggressively encouraging entrepreneurs);
<>

(10) In 2014, the cost of a H.I. Policy will likely decrease because H.I. Corp’s are limited to 20% profit (not 30-60%).  An individual or family policy Doesn’t have to subsidize Hospitals & Clinics as much as $1,000+ per year in extra “Policy Cost” (for indigent users of expensive E.R. Services);
33 Million more Americans can afford H.I. under ACA 2010;
Only about 1% will incur a modest I.R.S. penalty (no jail) for Not signing up, & paying a fair share;
(11) H.I.C.’s must spend 80% of premiums on Health Care (H.C.) Provider Services or return the difference to policy holders.  There are no more 30-60% padded profit-margins for Health Corp Profit-Care Ins. Boards & overpaid CEO’s;
(12) If a Koch-Tea Party Governor refuses to create H.C. Exchanges …the Federal Gov’t Will Create One;
Red State Govs Openly Blocking State implementation of ACA include:

Bobby Jindal (R-*LA); Scott Walker (R-*WI); Rick Scott (R-*FL); Bob McDonnell (R-*VA); Rick Perry (R-*TX); Chris Christie (R-*N J); Nikki Haley (R-*SC); State Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-*NC); Dave Heinerman (R-*NE); Mitch Daniels (R-*IN);
STATES "Not Participating" in Medicaid Expansion as of 09-30-13 are:

*AL, *AK, *FL, *GA, *ID, *IN, *KS, *LA, *ME, *MI (Delayed to 04-01-14), *MS, *MO, *MT, *NE, *NH, *NC, *OH, *OK, *PA, *SC, *SD, *TN, *TX, *UT, *VA, *WI, & *WY
(13) As part of Democrat’s ObamaCare State H.I. exchange set-up incentive, the Federal Government will kick in 100% of “Medicaid” Expenses for States for the first 3 Years & 90% thereafter.  Some Tea Govs don’t like the 10% payment or compliance w/ACA Federal Law they disagree with; They’re refusing funds that provide for children, moms, etc …who can’t afford food, housing, and health services …ultimately funds that reimburse Hospitals, Clinics & Doctors;
<>
(14) Beginning in 2014, H.I.C.’s Can’t keep you from getting H.C.I. or “Screen” & “Charge More” for pre-existing conditions like they can & do now (D. P’s);

(15) Medical Bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy.  Half of All U.S. Bankruptcies are caused by medical conditions & bills.  This will decrease under ACA 2010.  About half of the Americans who enter the bankruptcy process “Have H.I.” before the illness stricken them & put them out of work (Employer H.C. plans available after termination called C.O B.R.A. policies are prohibitively expensive).  In a future with ObamaCare, many families can survive cataclysmic illness & keep their homes;
<>
(16) H.I. Profit-Care Corps Do Not control U.s anymore!; Americans currently have the most expensive Health System in the world by Double.  We pay $17+/$100 in income for H.I. Policies plus Health Provider Services combined.  Our foreign economic competitors & friends in the 34 “Developed Countries” (D.C.) pay about half what we pay (before ACA’s full enactment).  The costliest D.C. pays $10/$100 in income for just the Health Provider Services.
Other D.C.’s save the “entire cost” of H.I. Corp’s Profits;
<>
(17) NOT ONE PENNY is cut from Medicare or Medicaid services to pay for ObamaCare;
“Drug companies & hospitals agreed to cuts because they’re getting 40 million new customers” ~ Alan Grayson (D-*FL);
(18)
“Medicare D” Ins. “Doughnut Hole” gap in prescription drug coverage is closing due to ObamaCare 2010 implementation.  “Medicare” Recipients will save about $600 per year on supplemental “Medicare D” Ins. payments with the “Hole” half-closed; Savings increase to $1,200 per year in 2014 when the “Hole” is closed by ObamaCare;
<>
19) F.Y.I.: $716 Billion of ObamaCare funding comes from “cost cuts” in failed private “Medicare Advantage” Ins. to including reduction of Corporate waste, fraud & abuse the next 10 years;
“The Affordable Care Act achieves these savings by reducing Medicare payments to drug companies, hospitals & other providers rather than cutting payments to Medicare beneficiaries.  ACA uses its Medicare savings to help children & lower-income Americans afford H.C., and to help seniors pay for prescription drugs by filling the so-called "donut hole" in Medicare Part D coverage.” ~ Robert Reich – Economist;

LiberTeaAyriAyns demand the enactment of the entire RNC - Republican National Convention Platform.  The GO Pee's 1% Corp C.E.O., Board, & Oligarch handlers hate “thrifty not-for-profit government,” as well as it's "regulation" authority; and they're dedicated to “break-fixing” government. 
The Steps include: Demonize big-government, Cut taxes on the Rich and Corp’s, “Break” the underfunded services and infrastructure, then privatize/"profitize to “fix” the problem they themselves created through neglect or by deliberate design.  It's a "salvage" process wherein the rich “part-out” and “buy up” government infrastructure, services, and real estate for cents on the dollar to convert public assets to profit-carter private enterprises.
 The 1% "sell" themselves as "Living" Job-Creator-god "Saviors" by Dolt-Whispering to people (through media and politicians) who have subjected themselves to clinical Paranoid Schizophrenia by deity originated blind-belief, or primitive tribal clan-ism.

Here’s Maine’s Problem: It’s very similar to that of other Confederate GOP States :: "Proponents of expansion of MaineCare ...expansion would provide health care coverage for almost 70,000 low-income Mainers who will otherwise receive no assistance from the ACA (Affordable
[Private Health Insurance Access &] Care Act/ObamaCare 2010). ...100 percent of the costs of the proposed expansion would be borne by the federal government for at least the first three years of the program (gradually reduced to 90 percent by 2020) ...if MaineCare were expanded ...stimulate more than $350 million in economic activity ...3,100 new jobs, ...$18 million in state and local taxes.
...Legislature has now refused to override the governor’s veto of the expansion ...opponents of expansion claim that they don’t trust the feds to keep their word (even though it’s now written into law) ...conservatives still characterize Medicaid as 'welfare' ...other types of health care coverage have been 'earned' ...We resent our tax dollars going to 'freeloaders.'" (but when uninsured clients go to the emergency room and/or may be terminally ill, for instance, it costs so much more for every "insured" Maine Resident and Federal Tax Payers who generously pick up the bill for indigent care) ::
"Taxation gets a bad rap in the U.S. and consequently is politically radioactive. Yet it is the most efficient, most enforceable and fairest way to finance a universal health care system."
