Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 11/20/2014 - 11:42
- Revisit the individual mandate - All Americans are forced to buy health insurance or face a tax penalty
- Repeal the medical device tax - The tax on medical devices helps generate revenue to pay for low-income subsidies
- Revisit the employer mandate - Under ObamaCare, companies with at least 50 full-time employees are required to provide insurance
- Revisit what constitutes "full time" employment - Changing the definition of “full time” would allow businesses to hire more people without being forced to provide employer coverage
- Federal reimbursements - The federal government is required to reimburse insurance companies when their costs end up higher than anticipated
- Medical board - Written into the ACA law is an Independent Payment Advisory Board which oversees health care pricing
- Lowering subsidies - ObamaCare could be made more affordable to the government if subsidies given to low-income enrollees were reduced
- New “copper” plan - Creating a new, lower cost category of ObamaCare coverage would reduce the high price of premiums
- Withhold funding - Some administrative costs are funded through discretionary appropriations
- Republican alternatives - With both houses under repubican control the GOP will likely intensify the push for its own alternative ideas
- Supreme Court decision - Poised to hear a formidable challenge to ObamaCare the court could seriously destabilize the law
