Court Ruling on Obamacare Subsidies

Obamacare is facing yet another obstacle. Courts recently ruled against Obamacare subsidies for Federal Exchange insureds. This ruling may impact over 8 million people. This article breaks down the recent ruling on Obamacare. Find out more in the article below...

President Barack Obama’s healthcare overhaul suffered a potentially crippling blow as a U.S. appeals court ruled the government can’t give financial assistance to anyone buying coverage on the insurance marketplace run by federal authorities. The decision, if it withstands appeals, may deprive more than half the people who signed up for Obamacare the tax credits they need to buy a health plan. The way Congress wrote the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act makes clear that the subsidy is available only to consumers who bought plans on state-run exchanges, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington ruled today.

How Much Should Health Insurance Cost?

You should have as much health insurance as you can reasonably afford. That's a clear and simple enough rule. Unfortunately, nothing else about health insurance is either clear or simple. Your choices are more complex than ever. Rising costs and the efforts to control them are affecting your options almost daily. On top of that, employees are being asked to pay for a bigger portion of their companies' health insurance premiums, and insurers are trying to steer you to doctors and hospitals who have agreed to hold down costs. — Kiplinger

Senate's Health Plan to Improve VA Care

Thanks to the recent media blitz of falsified wait times in VA hospitals, big changes are in store for the healthcare of U.S. veterans. An aggressive proposal was passed by the Senate to solidify the improvement of U.S. military veterans. The first three years of the plan will cost the federal government about 35.5 billion initially. This article highlights the Senate's health plan and gives details on the potential improvements.

A preliminary analysis of the plan to let veterans seek care from non-VA providers shows it may ultimately cost about $50 billion a year, according to the Congressional Budget Office, Congress’s nonpartisan scorekeeper. Some of those costs would be offset by savings to Medicare, CBO said yesterday. “The cost of war does not end when the last shots are fired and the last missiles are launched,” Senate Veterans Affairs Chairman Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, said on the chamber floor. “The cost of war continues until the last veteran receives the care and benefits that he or she is entitled to and has earned."

Group Health 101

Many employees depend on group health plans provided by their employer. A growing amount of employees have group coverage but are not quite sure what it entails. Here are a few background points about group health from our online Insurance Resource Center. A group health insurance policy is insurance coverage applied by the employer with an insurance company. The employer usually pays a part of the premium of the group medical insurance policy. A group health insurance policy gives an employer the advantage of not paying the whole premium for the insurance policy in order to cover his employees.  

Shinseki Officially Resigns as Secretary of VA

Shinseki officially submitted his resignation to the President last Friday afternoon. The former Secretary of VA Affairs, stated that he may have been too trusting of the reports submitted to his office in regards to patients' wait time. Shinseki hopes that his resignation will divert public attention back to the most important matter at hand, improving the medical care of our veterans. This article shares more about Shinseki's resignation and his meeting with the President.

President Barack Obama said Friday that he decided to accept Eric Shinseki's resignation after previously supporting his Veterans Affairs secretary because of Shinseki's "belief that he would be a distraction from" making the needed fixes to the troubled VA medical system. Obama said problems with VA reporting systems "did not surface to the level" where Shinseki or the White House were aware of them. Obama said there was "a need for a change in culture" at veterans hospitals "and perhaps the VA as a whole" to make sure that problems and "bad news" don't get covered up, but get reported and fixed.
