Will the Affordable Care act relieve me of paying for my Nanny's Insurance?

Your next fun time will be finding a physician who has an opening less than 3 or 4 months out who is willing to accept your gov't card. At the already poor repayment rates and slow time to repayment from the federal government, Im sure you will be able to find primary care physicians who are willing to take you somewhere; however, when it comes to getting specialty care, good luck with that! 10-15minute appointments where the physician sees your for 5 because they are behind since everyone thinks its time to bring up 4 different ailments during the visit. will be interesting what is done in the future for increasing quality of care while maintaining cost benefit.

Another misinformed poster. "Government card"? What are you talking about? The public option was defeated. There won't be any government cards. You will be submitting your United Health Care or AETNA card.

Really, spend some time doing research and stop making Obamacare critics look so embarrassing.

I had BCBS and couldn't get an appointment with a primary care practitioner for 4 months.

The lack of physicians in the DC area is not in any way caused or exacerbated by the ACA.

No. The government only pays insurance for the elderly, the poor, and the disabled.

You mean only for people BELOW poverty - in VA, a family of three has to make less than like $35,000 approx. So then, i guess a family of 4 on $40,000 will have ot pay a $750+ penalty every year if they can't afford individual family plans at $800/month.

This disgusts me. How does this law help poor people??????

Uh, that's not the definition used for the penalty. It is: "Income restraints: Tax penalty exemptions will be granted people for whom the lowest-cost plan option exceeds 8 percent of income and for those with incomes below the tax filing threshold, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation."

So no, that family would in NO WAY be required to buy health insurance at 27% of their income.
