[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With affordabe care act now set to be the law of the land does it mean that the government will now pay for my nanny's health insurance?[/quote]

No.  The government only pays insurance for the elderly, the poor, and the disabled.[/quote]

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??????[/quote]

States can increase Medicaid coverage from about 43% of the federal poverty guideline up to 133% of the FPG.  Not sure if VA will do this.  Maryland plans to.  Each state must creat an exchange to sell health insurance to families who make less than 400% of FPG.  Families will pay premiums based on a sliding scale.  So family of four making up to $93,000 a year will be able to access lower-cost health insurance, and will not be denied because preexisting conditions like one kid has asthma, or the dad has had melanoma.  Small businesses will get decent-sized tax credits to encourage their offering employer-based coverage to their employees.  It's not perfect, by any means, but it will ease access to health coverage for many.[/quote]
