Obamacare 'Glitch' Allows Some Families To Be Priced Out Of Health Insurance

[still_one]

WASHINGTON — Some families could get priced out of health insurance due to what's being called a glitch in President Barack Obama's overhaul law. IRS regulations issued Wednesday failed to fix the problem as liberal backers of the president's plan had hoped.

As a result, some families that can't afford the employer coverage that they are offered on the job will not be able to get financial assistance from the government to buy private health insurance on their own. How many people will be affected is unclear.

Fix the glitch?

2. That would be the thing to do, however, the article indicates it is unlikely because the house

republicans won't let it happen

5. Don't the members of congress

pledge an oath to keep the country safe from enemies, both foreign AND DOMESTIC??

3. This is the screw up where they didn't include the cost of family members on employee insurance?

That's a major problem and one not likely to be rectified anytime soon, so I'm assuming it is.

I don't know what anyone thought the IRS could do about it. The most would be to waive the fines.

4. Oh. Call me surprised.

Mandatory purchase of a parasitic industry's product not going well. Who would have thought...

6. With all of the people who voted for and passed this law, you'd think that one

of them would have read the damn thing. This was a very big deal. wouldn't at least one of them want to make sure that for once they got something right? Note there were no "glitches" on the big pharma side of this. And we "thought" the IRS would fix it? Since when does the IRS fix anything? OMG this burns my butt. 600 people running the country and not one of them...

Why don't the glitches ever affect the one percent?!!
