OBAMACARE Will Congress Fund the $2Billion Start Up Fund? Approve Appointees?

Back in September, 2009 I read and provided an Analysis of The House Bill called:  “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009”

You will find that analysis, and the attached comments which add a great deal of information here:

What does the Supreme Court's health-care ruling mean for me?

However, going forward will require Congress to do two things:

Provide HHS with $2,000,000,000 out of any funds in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated; and

Approval of Obama's appointees to run the programs.

You will find the details in the Analysis cited above.

Will the Congress of NO do so?

Based on SCOTUS ruling, it might be a good idea to brush up on what we can expect.

Most of America's uninsured are low-income people that, because they might own a car or home, don't qualify for Medicaid.  This is one of the primary reasons for the Health Care Bill:  To find a way to insure them, which might actually provide a road for these people to get health care that won't further impoverish them.

An analysis of what it will cost these individuals and families is provided below.

SCOTUS shot down the expanded Medicaid enrollment, even though most would/could have been funded by Federal funds which, in my interpretation, will require low income people to join their state's Health Exchange program.  If the analysis is correct, there will be a sliding scale premium requirement limited to a percent of income.

We know that states are cutting back on Medicaid because of deficit issues.

So, what will poor people pay for premiums?

And, will the Affordable Care Act solve this problem?

Health care related bankruptcy is on the rise, study says

Health costs fuel rise in bankruptcy among elderly

Medicare is fairly comprehensive, but it doesn’t cover everything — and the basic coverage doesn’t cap out-of-pocket expense if you become seriously ill or need nursing care. In fact, healthcare expenses can wreck retirement security – a fact underscored by a recent study that found medical expenses are a major contributor to bankruptcy among older Americans.
