Government steals your home under "Free Obamacare"
Fine print: State can seize your assets to pay
for care after you’re forced into Medicaid by Obamacare
POSTED AT 9:41 PM ON DECEMBER 16, 2013 BY MARY KATHARINE HAM
My, this is an unpleasant consequence of Obamacare. I’m not going to call it unintended because in its current form, it potentially earns a bunch of money for states, so I’m pretty sure that’s intentional. What I think is unintentional is anyone noticing this is what they’re up to.
But the Seattle Times noticed:
It wasn’t the moonlight, holiday-season euphoria or family pressure that made Sophia Prins and Gary Balhorn, both 62, suddenly decide to get married.
It was the fine print.
As fine print is wont to do, it had buried itself in a long form — Balhorn’s application for free health insurance through the expanded state Medicaid program. As the paperwork lay on the dining-room table in Port Townsend, Prins began reading.
She was shocked: If you’re 55 or over, Medicaid can come back after you’re dead and bill your estate for ordinary health-care expenses.
The way Prins saw it, that meant health insurance via Medicaid is hardly “free” for Washington residents 55 or older. It’s a loan, one whose payback requirements aren’t well advertised. And it penalizes people who, despite having a low income, have managed to keep a home or some savings they hope to pass to heirs, Prins said.
So, here’s the deal. There used to be a provision whereby the state could recuperate funds spent on a Medicaid patient post-55 years old from whatever assets he owned. So, a low-income individual in nursing home care after age 55 might pass away and his kids would find out the family home or car of whatever he had to his name had to be bought back from the state if they wanted it. It’s called estate recovery, and sounds pretty shady if it’s not boldly advertised as the terms for Medicaid enrollment, which is most definitely is not.
Before the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion, there weren’t that many people in Medicaid who had much in the way of assets for seizing. But now that Medicaid enrollment requirements have been relaxed, more people with assets but low income are joining the program or being forced into it. For instance, a couple in their 50s who, say, retired early after losing jobs in the bad economy may have assets but show a very low income. Under Obamacare, if their income is low enough to qualify for Medicaid, they must enroll in Medicaid unless they want to buy totally unsubsidized coverage in the now-inflated individual market. As teh Times notes, this is no small difference:
People cannot receive a tax credit to subsidize their purchase of a private health plan if their income qualifies them for Medicaid, said Bethany Frey, spokeswoman for the Washington Health Benefit Exchange.
But they could buy a health plan without a tax credit, she added.
For someone age 55 to 64 at the Medicaid-income level — below $15,856 a year — it’s quite a jump from free Medicaid health insurance to an unsubsidized individual plan. Premiums in King County for an age 60 non-tobacco user for the most modest plan run from $451 to $859 per month.
The couple in the Times story was able to marry, combine their incomes, and get out of the Medicaid trap. Others will not be so lucky, and may not even read the fine print:
Prins, an artist, and Balhorn, a retired fisherman-turned-tango instructor, separately qualified for health insurance through Medicaid based on their sole incomes.
But if they were married, they calculated, they could “just squeak by” with enough income to qualify for a subsidized health plan — and avoid any encumbrance on the home they hope to leave to Prins’ two sons.
For no one else in the world is it a-okay to give low-income people a loan that might endanger their family’s assets and not even clearly inform them they’re getting a loan.
This Daily Kos diarist has a nice write-up (I know) on the toll this could take on lower and middle-class people looking for relief and getting what amounts to a surprise predatory loan instead:
We haven’t had lots of people younger than 65 on Medicaid, because in most states simply earning less than the Federal Poverty Level did not qualify one for Medicaid.
And we haven’t had many people with lots of assets on Medicaid, because in most places you have to have less than around $2400 to your name before Medicaid will cover you. You can keep your house and your car, but Medicaid reserves the right to put liens on them and take them when you die.
But now we have the Affordable Care Act, and its expectation that everyone in the lower tier of income will end up in the Medicaid system. To accomplish this, they have dropped the asset test. So now we will have lots of people ages 55-64, who have assets but not a lot of income right now, for whatever reason, on Medicaid.
The kicker of it is, if you make the right amount to qualify for a subsidized health insurance plan, your costs are going to be shared and subsidized by the government. But if you go on Medicaid, you owe the entire amount that Medicaid spends on you from the day you turn 55…
How will this play out? No one knows, as far as I can tell. But it is easy to see how this could become a real problem. If someone is low income and goes on Medicaid, will Medicaid put a lien on their house? If they need to sell their house and move, will they then lose all their equity in paying off the lien? Will people get hit with bills and liens for many thousands of dollars, even if they were healthy and hardly ever went to the doctor?
The fact that this is being treated with seriousness at Kos is an indication of how large a liability it could be for this government program. Washington is scrambling to change the law. No doubt other states will start looking at their implementation of this part of Obamacare. But there will be people caught unaware that their houses effectively belong to the government because the government forced them into Medicaid coverage. You’re welcome!

A must read!
Professor Laura Hollis of Notre
Dame ... A MUST READ!
Laura Hollis is a professor at
the University of Notre Dame
November 20, 2013/10:42 AM
The unveiling of the dictatorial
debacle that is Obamacare absolutely flabbergasts me. It is stunning on so many
levels, but the most shocking aspect of it for me is watching millions of free
Americans stand idly by while this man, his minions in Congress and his
cheerleaders in the press systematically dismantle our Constitution, steal our
money, and crush our freedoms.
The President, Nancy Pelosi and
Harry Reid (with no small help from Justice John Roberts) take away our health
care, and we allow it. They take away our insurance, and we allow it. They take
away our doctors, and we allow it. They charge us thousands of dollars more a
year, and we allow it. They make legal products illegal, and we allow it. They
cripple our businesses, and we allow it. They announce by fiat that we must
ignore our most deeply held beliefs – and we allow it.
Where is your spine, America?
Yes, I know people are
complaining. I read the news on the internet. I read blogs. I have a Twitter
feed. So what? People in the Soviet Union complained. People in Cuba complain.
People in China complain (quietly). Complaining isn't the same thing as doing
anything about it. In fact, much of the complaining that we hear sounds like
resignation: Wow. This sucks. Oh well, this is the way things are. Too bad.
Perhaps you need reminding of a
few important facts. Here goes:
1. The President is not a king. Barack
Obama does not behave like a President, an elected official, someone who
realizes that he works for us. He behaves like a king, a dictator – someone who
believes that his own pronouncements have the force of law, and who thinks he
can dispense with the law's enforcement when he deigns to do so. And those of
us who object? How dare we? Racists!
And while he moves steadily
"forward" with his plans to "fundamentally transform" the
greatest country in human history, he distracts people with cheap, meaningless
trivialities, like "free birth control pills"! (In fact, let's face
it: this administration's odd obsession with sex in general - Birth control!
Abortion! Sterilization! Gay guys who play basketball! -- is just plain weird.
Since when did the leader of the free world care so much about how people have
sex, who they have it with, and what meds they use when they have it? Does he
have nothing more important to concern himself with?)
2. It isn't just a failed
software program; it is a failed philosophy. People are marveling
that Healthcare.gov was such a spectacular
failure. Well, if one is only interested in it as a product launch, I've
explained some of the reasons for that here. But the larger point is that it isn't a
software failure, or even a product failure; it is a philosophy failure.
I have said this before: Obama is
not a centrist; he is a central planner. And this – all of it: the disastrous
computer program, the hundreds of millions of dollars wasted, the lies, the
manipulation of public opinion, the theft of the public's money and property,
and freedom (read insurance, and premiums, and doctors) -- IS what central
planning looks like.
The central premise of central
planning is that a handful of wunderkinds with your best interests at heart
(yeah, right) know better than you what's good for you. The failure of such a
premise and the misery it causes have been clear from the dawn of humanity.
Kings and congressmen, dictators and Dear Leaders, potentates, princes and
presidents can all fall prey to the same imperial impulses: "we know what
is good the 'the people.'
And they are always wrong.
There is a reason that the only
times communism has really been tried have been after wars, revolutions, or
coups d'état. You have to have complete chaos for people to be willing to
accept the garbage that centralized planning produces. Take the Soviet Union ,
for example. After two wars, famine, and the collapse of the Romanov dynasty,
why wouldn't people wait in line for hours to buy size 10 shoes? Or settle for
the gray matter that passed for meat in the grocery stores?
But communism's watered-down
cousin, socialism, isn't much better. Ask the Venezuelans who cannot get toilet
paper. Toilet paper. ¡Viva la Revolución!
Contrary to what so many who
believe in a "living Constitution" say, the Founding Fathers
absolutely understood this. That is why the Constitution was set up to limit
government power. (Memo to the President: the drafters of the Constitution
deliberately didn't say "what government had to do on your behalf.")
They understood that that was the path to folly, fear, and famine.)
3. Obama is deceitful. Just as
the collapse of the computer program should not surprise anyone, neither should
we be shocked that the President lied about his healthcare plan. Have any of
you been paying attention over the past few years? Obama has made no secret of
his motivations or his methods. The philosophies which inspire him espouse
deceit and other vicious tactics. (Don' t take my word for it: read Saul
Alinsky.) Obama infamously told reporter Richard Wolffe, "You know,
I actually believe my own bullshit." He has refused to be forthcoming
about his past (where are his academic records?). His own pastor, Rev. Jeremiah
Wright, told author Ed Klein, that Obama said to him,
"You know what your problem is? You have to tell the truth."
Did Obama lie when he said dozens
of times, "If you like you plan, you can keep it. Period!"? Of course
he did. That's what he does.
4. The media is responsible. And had
the media been doing their jobs, we would have known a lot of this much, much h
earlier.
The press is charged with the
sacred responsibility of protecting the people from the excesses of government.
Our press has been complicit, incompetent, or corrupt. Had they vetted this man
in 2008, as they would have a Republican candidate, we would have known far
more about him than we do, even now. Had they pressed for more details about
Obamacare, Congress' feet would have been held to the fire. Had they done their
jobs about Eric Holder, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, NSA spying
- or any of the other myriad betrayals of the public trust that this
administration has committed, Obama would likely have lost his 2012 reelection
campaign. (A fact that even The Washington Post has tacitly
acknowledged. Well done, fellas! Happy now?)
Instead, they turned a blind eye,
even when they knew he was lying, abusing power, disregarding the limits of the
Constitution. It was only when he began to spy on them, and when the lies were
so blatant that the lowest of low-information voters could figure it out that
they realized they had to report on it. (Even in the face of blatant,
deliberate and repeated lies, The New York Times has the audacity to
tell us that the President "misspoke.") They have betrayed us,
abandoned us, and deceived us.
5. Ted Cruz was right. So was
Sarah Palin. The computer program is a disaster. The insurance exchanges are
a disaster. What's left? The healthcare system itself. and this, of necessity,
will be a disaster, too.
Millions of people have lost
their individual insurance plans. In 2015, millions more will lose their
employer-provided coverage (a fact which the Obama administration also knew,
and admitted elsewhere).
The exorbitant additional costs
that Obamacare has foisted on unsuspecting Americans are all part of a plan of
wealth confiscation and redistribution. That is bad enough. But it will not end
there. When the numbers of people into the system and the corresponding
demand for care vastly exceed the cost projections (and they will, make no
mistake), then the rationing will start. Not only choice at that point, but
quality and care itself will go down the tubes. And then will come the
decisions made by the Independent Payment Advisory Board about what care will
be covered (read "paid for") and what will not.
That's just a death panel, put
politely. In fact, progressives are already greasing the wheels for acceptance
of that miserable reality as well. They're spreading the lie that it will be
about the ability of the dying to refuse unwanted or unhelpful care. Don't fall
for that one, either. It will be about the deaths that inevitably result from
decisions made by people other than the patients, their families, and their
physicians. (Perhaps it's helpful to think of their assurances this way:
"If you like your end-of-life care, you can keep your
end-of-life-care.")
6. We are not SUBJECTS. (Or, Nice
Try, the Tea Party isn’t Going Away). We have tolerated these incursions into
our lives and livelihoods too long already. There is no end to the insatiable
demand "progressives" have to remake us in their image. Today it is
our insurance, our businesses, our doctors, our health care. Tomorrow some new
crusade will be announced that enables them to take over other aspects of our
formerly free lives.
I will say it again: WE ARE NOT
SUBJECTS. Not only is the Tea Party right on the fiscal issues, but it appears
that they are more relevant than ever. We fought a war once to prove we did not
want to be the subjects of a king, and the Boston Tea Party was just a taste of
the larger conflict to come. If some people missed that lesson in history
class, we can give them a refresher.
The 2014 elections are a good
place to start. Call your representative, your senator, your candidate and tell
them: "We are not subjects. You work for us. And if the word
"REPEAL" isn't front and center in your campaign, we won't vote for
you. Period."

King Obama? Democrats Introduce Bill
King Obama?
Congressman Introduces Bill To End Presidential Term Limits
Americans around the nation were shocked Friday as they heard about H.J.Res. 15. H.J.Res 15 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the Twenty-second Amendment. This would remove the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President. Rep. José Serrano (D- NY15) introduced the controversial joint resolution on Friday, the second day of the 2013 legislative session.
Well, what did you expect????

Scary 2013 Predictions
Better take this link below and read the full accounting!
http://www.naturalnews.com/038512_2013_predictions_insanity.html
This is just dang scary!
My real problem is that I can see and agree with most all of
his 20 predictions! I hate that!
Someone that is voicing my real fears about the future.
I know this for sure and hope that everyone will do the
same, get prepared for the worst. If it does not happen, ok, fine. If it some
do come true and you have not taken care to provide for yourself and love ones,
what will be the result of your inaction?
We will, and for the most part are prepared for what could
come. We will continue to live and plan for a future as if nothing will change.
Yet, we will be staying aware for any changes and take the appropriate actions.
You better too!
What will you do if the national power grid is down for months?
What will you do if the food items are gone from the stores
within 3 days of a systems failure?
What will you do if the government orders you to turn in
your guns and ammo?
What will you do if the dollar collapses?
What will you do if the UN or other nation invades the USA?
Do you really think none of this could not happen?
Bet you didn’t think the USA would have 8 years under the
leadership of someone named Barrack Insane Obama

Some facts about Death in America:
2009- 37,485 people died of prescription and illegal drug overdose. Prescription drugs are killing far more people than street drugs now.
2009- 36,284 Deaths from Traffic Accidents. The first year Drug Use related deaths passes traffic accident deaths.
2006- 22,073 Alcohol induced deaths (alcohol poisoning). Does NOT include drunk driving deaths.
2011- 32,367 Traffic related deaths. 10,839 involved alcohol.
2010- 38,364 Suicides. Highest rate of suicide in 15 years.
Now on to those bad old guns-
2011- 12,664 Murders occurred of which 8,583 were by firearms of every kind. All firearms, rifles, shotguns, pistols, assault rifles combined. A large number of these deaths are carried out by repeat offenders of the law whom aren't even legally allowed to possess a firearm. Laws have no affect on those who pay no attention to them.
Before you demonize firearms you better get your facts straight. We've got far larger problems out there but the media doesn't find those problems "sexy" enough to feed your emotions with.

Obama's great debt plan
Bankrupt America as quick as he can and then become the UN President.
What a guy...
And, stupid voters on the USA re-elected this creap in chief, amazing
Tuesday, October 30, 2012
Bill Clinton was disbarred from practicing law in Arkansas and was also
disbarred from practicing law in front of the Supreme Court over the
Lewinski incident.
He also paid a $25,000.00 fine over the Lewinski incident. He also paid an
$850,000.00 settlement over the Lewinski incident.
He was also fined $90,000 for giving false testimony in the Paula Jones
case.
So Bill Clinton, a disbarred lawyer, an impeached President who was fined for lying under oath, asks the American people to believe him when he says the best thing for the Country is 4 more years of Obama.
Just wanted to make sure I had it right!

Ted Nugent and the second amendment
Ok, so Ted is a little on the ruff side. Still, what he says is true. If Obama gets elected to a second term, he will launch a full out attack the constitution, and the second amendment is where he and his communist, socialist, anti American cronies will start.

Obama owns Occupy Wall Street
The following is written by Dr. Sowell, and I quote:
"It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.
"It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties.
"It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank,
Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Michael Moore, Jesse Jackson, George Soros, William Ayres, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members (Bob Kinney) will live in opulent splendor.
"It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities. "Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of.
"The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America. "Socialism, in general, has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."

Why Obama wants a War in America
I am so very sorry that this man is in office. What a huge mistake Americans made when they were duped by his slick words of hope and change.
What was not understood by most Americans is that Obama hoped he could change America into a total socialistic state in 4 years. He came close, very close, but he want 4 more years to make sure he destroys the enemy. The enemy is you and I, our way of life, our American life style.
The cover up for Obama, his history of radicalism and anti-American views are unbelievable!
Please, send this blog to people you know. Have them make an informed decision this next election. We must stop the war on Americans.

The attack continues;
Obama and his cronies in the Senate still want higher gas prices!
The Senate on Thursday rejected an attempt to fast-track the Keystone XL pipeline — barely.
The White House and Democratic leadership squeaked out a 56-42 vote on an amendment to the Senate’s highway bill, winning only because 60 votes were needed for passage. YOU VOTE OUT THOSE WHO VOTED TO WEAKEN AMERICA!
President Barack Obama had personally lobbied Democrats with phone calls urging them to oppose the measure, as Republicans continue to push the pipeline as a job-creating project needed in these days of high gasoline prices. Why??? Why in the name of all that is right, would Obama lobby congress to block a pipe line of oil into America? Why???????????????

Harvard University Law School professor Charles Ogletree admitted that he hid controversial video footage featuring a college-age President Obama speaking at a campus rally in support of a radical professor.
"I hid this during the 2008 campaign," Ogletree said in the video. "I don't care if they find it now." Why did he hide it? Why are Obama’s school records sealed? Why are there investigations as to how Obama was able to attend such schools? Who supported him? Did he indeed get admitted as a foreign student?
Bell has been described as the Jeremiah Wright of academia. I think we remember the “G..Damn America, preacher and church that Obama attended”

Obama's and his top economic advisers, bring down America!
The three who brought down Wall Street.
Here's a quick look into the three former Fannie Mae executives who
Brought down Wall Street.
Franklin Raines - was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae.
Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when

Does your budget break the currant spending law?
At a Budget Committee hearing yesterday, OMB Acting Director Jeffrey Zients refused, under direct questioning from Sen. Sessions, to answer whether the president's budget would increase spending over current-law levels.
The White House has repeatedly claimed that their budget contains $2.50 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax increases. In truth, the budget plan submitted by the president would increase spending by $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years relative to current projections. Over that time, the federal government will spend a total of $47 trillion, up from $45.5 trillion projected under the already enacted Budget Control Act—producing by the president's own projections an additional $11.2 trillion in gross debt.
To view a detailed breakdown of proposed spending increases using numbers from President Obama's own budget, please click here:http://1.usa.gov/yRREwf.
Does anyone in their right mind want to re-elect Mr. Obama and continue with his agenda of lies.
Does you wish to continue his attack on Americas economy, religion and tax payers?
Please vote no in November.

Facts about Obama and Health Care
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very
interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International
Health Organization.
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years
after diagnosis:
U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received
treatment within six months:
U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it
within six months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within
one month:
U.S. 77%
England 40%
Canada 43%
Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million
people:
U.S. 71
England 14
Canada 18
Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are
in "excellent health":
U.S. 12%
England 2%
Canada 6%
And now for the last statistic:
National Health Insurance?
U.S. NO
England YES
Canada YES
Check this last set of statistics!!
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked
in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is a real-life business, not a
government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt.................... 38%
Taft.................................. 40%
Wilson ........................... 52%
Harding........................... 49%
Coolidge......................... 48%
Hoover............................ 42%
F. Roosevelt................... 50%
Truman........................... 50%
Eisenhower................ .... 57%
Kennedy......................... 30%
Johnson.......................... 47%
Nixon.............................. 53%
Ford................................ 42%
Carter............................. 32%
Reagan........................... 56%
GH Bush......................... 51%
Clinton .......................... 39%
GW Bush........................ 55%
Obama..................... 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration:
only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the
last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big
corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one
with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk
about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has
never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff
and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia,
government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should
have been in an employment line.

stream media.
