FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Millions of uninsured Americans seeking health insurance showed up at healthcare centers and logged onto government websites Tuesday to get a look at various insurance plans.
Obama’s Affordable Care Act is aimed at offering “affordable” coverage for low-wage Americans. About seven million Americans are eligible to purchase coverage.
“This is life-or-death stuff,” Obama said during remarks in the White House Rose Garden. “Tens of thousands of Americans die each year just because they don’t have health insurance. Millions more live with the fear that they’ll go broke if they get sick. And today, we begin to free millions of our fellow Americans from that fear.”
HealthCare.gov, the federal online marketplace serving more than 30 states, was jammed for most of Tuesday due to high traffic. Sixteen states and Washington D.C. opted to set up their own marketplaces.
The marketplaces, also called exchanges, are intended for poor Americans who are uninsured to buy private insurance on their own.
The marketplaces are one of the centerpieces of the Affordable Care Act, the law enacted more than three years ago that has significantly changed the US healthcare system.
A partial government shutdown began Monday midnight because the Republican-led House of Representatives made funding for government operations for the new fiscal year contingent on defunding, delaying or dismantling Obama’s healthcare law.
According to recent polls, a vast majority of Americans are still concerned about their personal healthcare under Obamacare.
Under the law, companies with 50 or more employees face fines if they fail to offer cheap health insurance for their full-time workers. Any employee working 30 hours or more is considered full-time.
