Health Care Crisis

The passage of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is going to cost the United States of America, mainly we the people trillions of dollars before it is fully implemented and even more money after this new health insurance is implemented. Now for a few more of the government mandated health insurance rules, laws, and regulations that will be implemented effective September 21, 2010.

1. Individuals affected by Medicare Part D health insurance coverage gap will receive a rebate of two hundred fifty dollars and fifty percent of the Medicare Part D coverage gap will be eliminated in the year of 2011. The Medicare Part D health insurance coverage gap will be completely eliminated by the year 2020.

Unfortunately for us, this health care mandate is only going to become worse because the United States does not have the monetary funds to keep this operating. What this does is instead of improving on the current health insurance and health care system by trying to weed out the fraud and abuse there will be more added. Anyone who refuses to participate in this health insurance will be notified by the Internal Revenue Service and will be levied a fine.
