Ahh! The first step in supporting obama and obamacare!

 

[Birds Away]

Um, does that mean I will be getting a check in the mail?

Would you accept a cell phone?

 

[Birds Away]

UGHH, again with the cell phone. How come everyone else, when they quit thinking and working, gets a check.

Seems a mite more complicated than

1) Go to doctor

2) Pay doctor

But just imagine all the jobs required to maintain that flow chart.

That's economic growth you can believe in!!!

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Seems simple enough...

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[spearheadersarge]

Yikes!! That thing must really confuse the hell out of the "Heads"!

 

[Zoub]

That is actually a really good document.

To the OP, can you now find me one explaining exactly how employees with premium plans will be taxed as part of their income.

Thanks in advance for doing my research for me.

Can you show me exactly where in the document it says they will be, I musta missed it.
My understanding has always been that the insurer or the employer pay the tax. This doesn't even kick in until 2018, had to throw the UAW a bone as most of their plans would qualify.
I have never really understood why the .gov would want to force employers to offer crappier insurance to their employees.
The thing that my family will dislike the most is the limiting of HSA contributions to $2500, that's a steaming pile of *****. If a family is planning any significant medical expense, a baby, orthodontist, etc, that $2500 ain't goin very far.

Didn't you hear, tax deductions are actually expenses. By keeping your money, you're actually taking it from someone else.

Think of the children, would you?

It was not in the OP document but as I recall from years ago when this crap started, employees with "Premium" plans will end up paying income tax on some of the value of the benefit. No different from your employer handing you a bonus check.

I need to back track to that document.

I know the patient is in there somewhere.

What's next ? That's we need to worry about

Not quite. I think that you are confusing MSA's and HSA's. The limit for HSA's in 2013 is $3250.

My bad, I was actually referring to the FSA, flexible spending account. They will be capped at $2500. MY wife's employer, a hospital, issues debit cards that are loaded at the first of the year with the amount you ask for, then a portion is deducted from your check every pay period, from pre-tax dollars, throughout the entire year. It's been awesome with two kids in braces, all four of us in glasses/contacts, one kid that gets allergy shots weekly, one that needed wisdom teeth cut out and misc. Dr. visits and prescriptions. We blew through $3500 last year without even trying hard.

You've got to be kidding me. This is a joke right? Bureaucrats are supposed to figure this out?
