800,000 Using HealthCare.gov Were Sent Incorrect Tax Data
mpicpp sends this report from the NY Times:
About 800,000 taxpayers who enrolled in insurance policies through HealthCare.gov received erroneous tax information from the government, and were urged on Friday to hold off on filing tax returns until the error could be corrected. The Obama administration, under heavy pressure from congressional Democrats, also announced that it would give several million people more time to buy health insurance so they could comply with federal law and avoid tax penalties. The incorrect insurance information is used in computing taxes. Consumers can expect to receive corrected data in the first week of March. With the new data, officials warned, some taxpayers will owe more and some will owe less. Officials said they did not know why the error had occurred.
Why the FUCK does the IRS need to know anything about the state of my medical insurance?
(we can go into why other entities (twitter/google/etc) need to know, but that was a previous slashdot article)
B$. My family of 5 coverage was $160 per month, $35 copay, no deductible. Here comes Osamabinladencare, one adult person is now $1200 per month for almost the same coverage, kids are forced to take medi-cal, which is free but will recoup any/all medical bills from my estate. No choice on this, it's this or pay the full outside price which is 10X what it was.
prices go up and obamacare is NOT there to stop or help with that.
we were told that the avg family would see 2500 a YEAR in savings. when the trust is they are spending about that much more.
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
