It will roll out as written, imposing major changes soon on you and your family. If you are uninsured because you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afford it, help may be on the way. But if you are one of the 250 million Americans with coverage, there are big problems ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you get your health insurance through a job, you might lose it as of Jan. 1, 2014.<\/strong> That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s when the new \u00e2\u20ac\u0153employer mandate\u00e2\u20ac\u009d kicks in, requiring employers with 50 or more full-time workers to provide the government-designed health plan or pay a fine. The government plan is so expensive, it adds $1.79 per hour to the cost of a full-time employee. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s incidental if you&#8217;re hiring neurosurgeons but a hefty increase for hiring busboys and sales clerks.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, employers in retail and fast-food industries pay less than half that to cover their workers. To avoid  the costly mandate,some employers will push workers into part-time status. Other employers will opt for the fine. Either way, workers lose their on-the-job coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Worse, they risk losing their jobs.Even the fine adds 98 cents an hour to the cost of labor, enough to make some employers cut back on their workforce.<\/p>\n<p>As many as a third of employers are considering canceling coverage, according to McKinsey &amp; Co. management consultants. But that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be uninsured; you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have that choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you file your taxes, you will have to show proof that you are enrolled in the one-size-fits-all plan approved by the federal government.<\/strong> It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mandatory, starting Jan. 1, 2014, or the IRS will withhold your refund. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been going without insurance, or your employer drops coverage, your options will be enrolling in Medicaid (if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re eligible) or buying a government-approved health plan on your state health exchange.<\/p>\n<p>What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an insurance exchange? It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like a supermarket that only sells cereal. The exchange will sell only the government-designed plan. In most states, exchanges will be an 800 number, a Web site and a government office, like the DMV. People with household incomes up to $92,200 will be eligible for a subsidy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a senior or a baby boomer, expect less care than in the past.<\/strong> Cuts to future Medicare funding pay for more than half the Obama health law. Hospitals, for example, will have $247 billion less to care for same number of seniors than if the law had not passed. Hospitals will spread nurses thinner. California nurses already are striking over the increased workloads.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nypost.com\/p\/news\/opinion\/opedcolumnists\/beware_obamacare_now_reality_YT42eCrsbtZC3KbDONGm4O\">..read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ultimate dream is single payer, but first the existing private insurance market must be destroyed; that all starts Jan 1, 2014.
