In addition, the subsidized pool will receive at least $5 billion in funding. This funding will be provided to subsidize premiums through 2013. This money appears to come from, “you guessed it” the 24/7 Printing Press known as the U.S. Treasury, guaranteed by future generations yet to be born.

In the succeeding two year period from 2013-15, $20 Billion more will be required to prop up a reinsurance fund run by a non-profit co-op. Insurance companies will be required to pay into this fund, which may require additional billions to remain solvent. Ultimately, these same insurance companies will pass along this $20 Billion plus burden to group health plans costs, making us bear an unfair burden vs. the government plan, which will not be forced to pick up a dime.

Another concern: covered individuals must be uninsured for six months before gaining access to the high-risk pool. Sounds like the equivalent of a Medicare Part D Prescription “Donought Hole” to me. The only difference is that a person could in fact, incur tens of thousands of expenses during this six-month, pre-qualificaiton waiting period.

So a Grand Slam may be a bit much. It’s great to have guaranteed issue, great to have guarantee renewability and nice to do away with the limits of coverage for pre-exisiting conditions. But all this and the aformentioned above, makes one ponder if that home run ball was really fair or foul.

Let’s look at both sides of the issue. As a positive aspect of employee mandates, where individuals are required to purchase coverage, I believe this teaches responsibility - and this is in fact, a good thing - a sign of reaching adulthood and taking responsibility for ones own life.

The upside rationale for requiring individual health insurance purchasing by all individuals, is the social costs. If in fact, employees pay into the system (and not the government), there would less of a burden on the system as a whole, which ultimately, could bring down the costs.

However, because of a federal law that already exists, requiring guaranteed treatment in the E.R. for any person without health insurance coverage (legal or illegal), residing the the U.S., this added costs to the insurds monthly premiums has been dramatic and the ability to get the uninsured to pay their fair share has been “problematic”.

Hospitals have had to raise their rates, which has caused insurance companies to pay more, and in turn, they have had to charge higher premiums to the end user.

And where is the mandate for the uninsured? The illegal immigrant family having anothr child, or the young IT guy who feels invinsible and won’t purchase insurance at any cost because he or she can just tap into the “taxpayer paid E.R.” when or if necessary. Where is the moral resonsibility? That does not seem to exist.

An uninsured person could easily argue, “why pay a dime if the United States government (aka the American taxypayer), has already guaranteed coverage for my family”? So what if the uninured lacks a Blue Cross or Major Medical Health Insurance Card and may otherwise feel embarrassed when he shows up with his wife a the E.R. as she is ready to deliver a child. In the end, one can accept a little embarrassment when healthcare is FREE. True?!

To be frank, the 185 million plus insured Americans, are in fact, already paying the costs of the 46 million uninusred. This begs the question– why are we now looking to add $1 to $1.8 Trillion ($1,800,000,000,000.00) to our nations debt so that the uninsured, who are already covered by Medicaid, CHIPS and the 185 million Americans insured through higher premiums - so that these uninsured persons can now receive their own , full blown Blue Cross or Major Medical Health Insurance Card, FREE OF CHARGE. Who do you think is going to be left paying the bill. Hint: There’s a reason GOVERNMENT AND USTAXPAYER have the same number of letters. One Replaces the other when it comes to paying the bill!

As for the positive inpact mandates could have on insurance companies by making insurance mandatory to all employers, I see this as a Win-Lose scenario. The insurance carriers will rake in hundreds of billions of dollars per year. They will be able to command even greater purchasing discounts from providers and ultimately, they will realize greater profit.

The employer will be stuck with more paperwork and more costs. The wild card in all this is the government who ultimately seeks a single payor system and access to 16% of the economy and the hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars of monthly premiums to use as they see fit. We all know how they have robbed the Medicare Trust fund to finance new government controlled programs.
In the end, it’s all about the money.

The Blogger rounds out the “Perils of Mandates”, by making a strong case for emphasis on wellness, healthy lifestyles and consumerism. BRAVO! That’s what it’s all about.

If people can live healthier lives by taking a few more walks every week, using a smaller plate at the dinner table, avoid processed foods, consume one or two beers at the football game and not 7, then we as a nation, will begin to take the “baby steps” necessary for longer, more productive lives.

The emphasis on consumerism and having the employees have a stake in the game through higher sugery or high-end procedure co pays or deductibles, when/if they choose an unhealthy lifestyle, has high merit.

To do otherwise, as in the case of the government providing rich, mandated benefits, with taxpayer subsidized premiums, will disempower Americans and will ultimately make us “unhealthy wards of the state”. After all, will employers and employees care about how much healthcare is being used if the plans are made rich, with little costs containment (as has been the case in Medicare)? I think not. Indeed, we may in fact have MEDICARE II - a national healthcare plan that is MANDATED to pay out, until the country is bankrupt. How’s that for a PERILOUS MANDATE!
