(Watchdog.org) A little known provision tucked inside nearly 11,000 pages of ObamaCare regulations, doles out ‘Buy 1 Month Get 3 Free’ months of health care to individuals that choose to default on their premiums but soon, only for those not living in California.
People that receive the ObamaCare federal subsidy will be permitted to incur a 3 month ‘grace period’ if they can’t or won’t pay their premiums and then simply cancel their policies stiffing doctors and hospitals–their only down side is that they’ll have to wait the for following year’s ‘open enrollment’ if they want ObamaCare coverage again.
“It will break the system said, Rep Louie Golmert (R-TX) “This is a huge piece of evidence to show this can’t work, you will bankrupt the system and bankrupt people involved.”
“The hospitals, doctors and insurance companies will be left holding the bag. There will be disagreements over who will pay for it. Lawyers will get involved because we are talking about a lot of money,” added Golmert.
The State of California has decided to nix ‘Buy 1 Month Get 3 Free’ regulation in ObamaCare and says it is drafting language to state law that will say, policy holders will be suspended and unable to use their ObamaCare plan after one month of non-payment, which is consistent with other health insurance plans purchased outside ‘Covered California’ exchange.
Besides the ‘Buy 1 Month Get 3 Free’ non-sense ObamaCare rule, the Affordable Unaffordable Care Act also violates other California laws:
- Prompt Pay: Which states that health plans must propmptly reimburse health care providers and
- Rescission: The State of California has a host of conditions that must be in place before retroactively terminating a policy of insurance, none of which are addressed in ObamaCare.
In related ObamaCare/Covered California news, President Obama’s so called “ACA Cancellation Fix” which he announced last week, that would by ‘Executive Fiat’ allow insurance companies to sell policies of health insurance for one additional year which do not meet the new ObamaCare mandates, in order to help Democrats that voted for the health care law that they never read before passing, has been rejected by ‘Covered California’ Board of Directors in a unanimous decision today despite President Obama’s pleas at the White House this week with state insurance commissioners.
