While the debate continues over how many ObamaCare enrollees are actually paying their premiums, one aspect of the law temporarily rewards those who actually stop paying – and doctors may wind up bearing the cost.
“This law provides a 90-day grace period for people who have subsidized ObamaCare exchange plans and stopped paying their premium," said Betsy McCaughey, health care author and former New York lieutenant governor.
But the insurance companies are only obligated to cover the first 30 days of the 90-day grace period.
"You're still entitled to care for another 60 days," said John Goodman of the National Center for Policy Analysis. "The insurance company doesn't pay, you don't pay, who pays? Well, the doctors and the hospitals have to eat it. That's a very strange feature of this new health reform."Read the rest of the story HERE.

Let’s recap:
If you like your insurance policy, you can keep it.
No, wait.
If you liked your policy, it was probably worthless anyway.
Scratch that.
.
If your junk policy was canceled and you still want it,
you can keep it. Er, get it back.
.
Whatever.

Obamacare a Catastrophe Like No Other
You cannot look at ObamaCare and call it anything but
a huge, historic mess.
.
There are very, very few Democrats
who would do ObamaCare over again.
Some would do something different, but they wouldn’t do this.
The cost of the blunder has been too high
in terms of policy and politics.

Obamacare has no legitimate funding mechanism
A thorough review of the Obamacares' financing problems
.
ObamaCare restricts choices and INCREASES COSTS.
It cut the Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance (HI) Fund
It double counts money taken from the Hospital Insurance (HI) Fund.
It cuts Medicare Advantage
It relies on politically unsustainable mandates.
There are other politically unsustainable or otherwise
• dishonest funding mechanisms in the bill.
Obamacare hurts businesses.

Hiding the true costs of the program
Obamacare is simply a stalking horse for single payer

The Other Stealthy ObamaCare Menace
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation
exists to impose price controls and limit payments to providers.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation
has flown below the political radar.

what is unfolding before our eyes is a colossal fiscal disaster,
poised to haunt legislators and taxpayers for decades to come.
It is quite possible that the ACA is shaping up as
the greatest act of fiscal irresponsibility ever committed
by federal legislators.
