A recent article states: “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) itself empowers states to block the employer mandate, to exempt many of their low- and middle-income taxpayers from the individual mandate, and to reduce federal deficit spending, simply by not establishing a health insurance ‘exchange’…To date, 34 states, accounting for roughly two-thirds of the U.S. population, have refused to create Exchanges. Under the statute, this shields employers in those states from a $2,000 per worker tax that will apply in states that are creating Exchanges (e.g., California, Colorado, New York). Those 34 states have exempted at least 8 million residents from taxes as high as $2,085 on families of four earning as little as $24,000. They have also reduced federal deficits by hundreds of billions of dollars.”
You probably didn’t know that, and won’t hear it on the nightly news. Also unfortunate is the fact that West Virginia, rather than protecting citizens has chosen to full implement ObamaCare. This means higher taxes, fewer choices, and funding abortion against our religious convictions. Our lawmakers seem bent on forcing us to comply with this awful despite the overwhelming opposition to it on the part of Americans, and especially medical professionals. Perhaps we need new lawmakers. Click here for original article.
