I like Obamacare

Now before everyone freaks, let me explain.

I didn't get brain-washed. (it'd be a small load anyways)
My family isn't being held hostage by the Obama administration.
I am neither a plant or a shill.
I don't work for Kathleen Sabilius.
I didn't have a stroke.

In this thread www.abovetopsecret.com...

A member asked what kind of business he could start.

I said, start a health co-op, and screw Obamacare.

I did a little Googling and lo and behold. . . .

Don’t Like Your Health Insurance? Make Your Own

The Affordable Care Act hopes to drive expansion of health care co-ops.

Say what???

I read further. . .

ACA loans for health care cooperatives

The ACA funds private, nonprofit health insurers called Consumer Operated and Oriented Plans—CO-OPs. It originally set aside $3.4 billion for low-interest loans—seed money for at least one health cooperative in each state, plus Washington, D.C.

"Start-up loans" cover such development costs as renting office space, developing provider networks or obtaining contracts with existing provider groups, hiring managers, educating members on how co-ops work, and building enrollment. ACA "solvency loans" are intended to help CO-OPs satisfy state monetary reserve requirements for health insurers.

According to the Center for Medicare Services, CO-OP loans could fund cooperatives that operate health care facilities or cooperative insurance that would cover treatment at participating medical organizations.

Interest in CO-OPs has been keen. The healthcare.gov website states that, as of December 21, 2012, 24 nonprofits offering coverage in 24 states have been awarded nearly $2 billion.

Basically, Obamacare (ACA) will PAY YOU (from the tax coffers) to start up your own health co-op.

WTF?

So get started people! Use it before we all lose it! Personally, I wonder how this little nugget slipped by the tyrants in charge, then again, they never did read the damned thing!

That's pretty sweet, but unless you had like at least a thousand family members and friends, it would cost way more.
Leave it to Beezer to find the most capitalistic part of the ACA!

We can start an ATS Healthcare Co-op!

BOO....

This is clearly a sign of the end times.

Repent while you still can!

Damn it, Let the Rabbits wear glasses!

I haven't gone insane.
This is not a sign of the apocalypse.

Why not an ATS CO-OP?

Work the system! Screw the man!

How many members do you think would buy in?

I sure as hell want to see what kind of Doctors we are getting!

yeah... on paper it works... but who the heck is gonna sign up with a start-up service with no board of directors...no track record of good/acceptable service to the clients ... no stocks...IOW a likely rip-off even though the co-op is being underwritten by the 0bamacare machine......... (that in itself would be strike 3 in my book)


i do not believe that everyone out there who a re being forced to buy insurance exchange policies is a brain-dead zombie

but as i heard on 'Rush' today... there are 15,000 healthcare buyers out there that actually could purchase the 'Mandated' coverage over the last 10 days.............. UN believeable !

We'd end up with an Indigo who owned his own stethoscope.

I'm a nationally registered EMT.
I don't have a stethoscope, but I have duct tape.

I was thinking the same damn thing!

Sure, I'll provide care to the citizenry of ATS.

But all patients will be required to sign a hold harmless agreement first.

Our services could include abduction therapy, chemtrail detoxification, removal of nano chips, offer NO vaccines, aroma therapy, and cranial-anal corrections.

hee-hee

Don't forget 'Diagnostic' predictions, emergency preparedness training, dietary education, alternative healing and spiritial guidance.

Now I don't feel so bad and am glad I'm not the only one with the capitalist spirit!

I have been researching investment opportunities in insurance companies.

Figured if the government was going to force people to buy something, I might own/have an interest in the venture! LOL!

I'm in! Beezer you are brill!
I am looking for a way to make this work and it just hasn't been there.
$7000 in medical expenses with a $5000 deduct last year. Premiums for the family are $1200 monthly. my wife and I discussed the math and paying $19,400 for $2000 in benefits made us both facepalm. I would have been better off just paying for services to the tune of $12,000. I'll take the penalty.
I can not fathom any of the younger generations (that Obamacare needs to make this thing pencil) signing up for this at all.

Start a CO-OP and you'd have Obamacare paying for your healthcare. . . . tax free!
