Thanks to Obamacare, you will now be able to call a hotline to get some handy tips on the new health insurance system. Yuba County in California is building a $150,000 call center that will help callers deal with the reams of paperwork associated with the new system.



“We’re excited and scared at the same time,” Suzanne Nobles, director of the call center, explained. There will be 21 new hires to deal with the incoming calls. It’s unclear whether the funding will ever come through. But just like everything else in California, there’s always a solution: raising taxes.

How Many Businesses Are Exempt? The Final Number of ‘Obamacare’ Waivers Is In…


Since the passage of the “Affordable Care Act,” it has been some cause for concern — scandal even — that several businesses have been granted waivers excusing them from participation in the federal program.

And now we have a final number of how many businesses are exempt from “Obamacare.”
Roughly 1,200 companies received waivers from part of the healthcare reform law, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) said Friday.

“One for you, and one for you, and one for you…“

“Friday marks the last time HHS will have to update the total number of waivers, putting to rest a recurring political firestorm. The department had been updating its waiver totals every month, prompting monthly attacks from the GOP,” writes Sam Baker of The Hill.

Naturally, Republican opposition to the bill seized on these waivers as an opportunity to
advance the argument that the healthcare law is “unworkable.”

So how does the HHS justify granting the waivers? The department argues that the waivers show the law provides “flexibility.”
But who gets to choose when the law is “flexible”?

“All told, 1,231 companies applied for and received waivers from the law’s restrictions on annual benefit caps,” Baker writes. “The law requires plans to gradually raise their benefit limits, and all annual limits will become illegal in 2014. Companies that received waivers can keep their caps intact until 2014.”
When added together, the healthcare waivers excuse about 4 million people, or about 3 percent of the population, from having to participate, HHS said.
