A lot of American citizens are excited and worried about the new healthcare law that is currently set to take full effect in January 2014 — namely, Obamacare (otherwise known as the Affordable Healthcare Act). However, is it really affordable? It seems that Obamacare is mainly focused on giving everyone health coverage rather than considering how much it actually costs to both businesses and taxpayers. Yes, Obamacare does give everyone a chance to have healthcare. You actually have three choices: Stay on your current healthcare plan and watch your healthcare premiums DOUBLE or TRIPLE as some people’s coverage already has in order for proper Obamacare funding to be provided. Two, you can take Obamacare and still experience higher rates and a heavily taxpayer funded, government controlled healthcare. Lastly, you are not required to have any health insurance. Either way, Obamacare is being shoved down our throats because if you opt out with no health insurance, you are forced to pay a hefty fine. Businesses with more than 50 full-time employees will have to provide health coverage under this law. This has caused many businesses to cut hours dramatically. Lastly, taxes will have to be increased greatly because covering everyone will require an intense tax increase. So you can be excited about Obamacare but be prepared when your costs go up whether you have healthcare or not. What Americans can do now is just become well-informed of the bill and become aware of how terrible Obamacare really is.
