Beginning in 2014, everyone with coverage through an employer will have to hand over $63 per year to cover the price of getting insurance for people with preexisting conditions. It's a part of the Affordable Care Act, one of the many expenses that law will impose.
Tax to pay for preexisting conditions takes effect in 2014
No matter what a person's situation, people with preexisting conditions should always be able to get insurance coverage. It should be given to everyone who is willing to pay premiums to get it. Insurance is really important to a person's health.
Due to the Affordable Care Act that was passed by the Obama administration, insurance businesses can no longer exclude those with preexisting problems. The cash has to come from someplace to help pay for it though.
People who already have insurance and businesses getting it are now going to end up paying the additional costs, according to CBS. Between 2014 and 2017, $25 billion needs to be elevated somehow, though the requirement does not start until 2014.
Fee to be problems
Everyone currently insured will end up having to pay a fee to give insurance to those with preexisting problems though. About 190 million people get insurance through their companies, and the fee will probably be passed on through them. Every business that gives insurance to workers will be paying, according to the ACA's text.
The fee will differ by the company; large firms will get the largest bills, smaller businesses will get smaller bills from Uncle Sam. The fee is $63 per insured person, which according to Salon.com is assessed annually. Assuming all of it is passed on to workers, that's an extra $5.25 per month. Not exactly the main difference between the lifestyle of Croesus and starving in the street and taking payday loans just to pay the rent, but still a dent.
On the bright side, the fee declines every year after that, dropping from $63 per head in 2014 to $50 the next year, until it phases out totally in 2017.
A little bit of Robin Hood
The ACA also states that $700 billion needs to be raised over ten years on top of the $25 billion to cover preexisting condition expenses. A number of people end up losing cash when they have to cover others to get health insurance, regardless how nice of an idea it is.
Because of the health care law, premiums have been starting to slowly go up. For instance, According to the Washington Post, HR consultancy Mercer found in a recent survey this year that 12 percent of employers with at least 500 workers have elevated premiums on health insurance, compared to 10 percent last year. Anyone with insurance can probably be ready to pay more in long term, for every person else.
