21 Affordable Health Care Act Obamacare American Chronic Pain Association

22 Everyone should have health care American Chronic Pain Association

23 Everyone should have health care Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), patients can secure an affordable health plan through the new health insurance marketplace in their state, which began Oct. 1, Enrollment for 2014 will remain open through March 31. American Chronic Pain Association

24 Obamacare Pros 1. Reduce health care cost by making it available to 32 million uninsured 2. Preventative services are free 3. Government will pay states for Medicaid for those who can t afford insurance 4. Don t qualify receive tax credit if income is below 400% poverty level American Chronic Pain Association

25 Obamacare Pros 5. Cannot deny coverage for preexisting conditions. 6. Children covered until age 26 by parents 7. Eliminate the $2,800 up-front cost of Medicare 8. Keep your current insurance 9. Doesn t apply to employers with under 50 people 10. Act lowers the budget deficit by $143 billion American Chronic Pain Association

26 What do immigrant families need to know about the Marketplace? IT IS A MAZE American Chronic Pain Association

27 Obamacare Cons million had insurance and many have had it cancelled. To obtain a replacement would be at a much higher cost. 2. Between 3-5 million people could lose their companysponsored insurance. 3. Increased coverage may actually raise overall health care costs in the short term. American Chronic Pain Association

28 Obamacare Cons 4. If you don t purchase insurance by March 31, 2014, and don t qualify for Medicaid, will be assessed a tax of $95 in 2014, $325 in 2015 and $695 in About 4 million people will pay the tax, cost $54 billion. 6. Taxes were raised in 2013 on one million individuals to cover cost of Medicaid. American Chronic Pain Association

29 Obamacare Cons 7. In 2013, some businesses paid increased taxes which might discourage hiring new employees. 8. Deductions for medical expenses were increased. 9. Pharmaceuticals companies pay an extra $84.8 billion in fees over next ten years to pay cover the Medicare cost. 10. In 2018 insurance companies will be asked a 40% excise tax on top level plans. These are plans with $10,200 per individual and $27,500 for families. American Chronic Pain Association

30 Obamacare Even three years after it s been approved, 54% of American opposed the Act and many groups are still working to repeal Obamacare. American Chronic Pain Association

31 Obamacare So the questions is: have we improved access to health care or made it more difficult? It depends on who you talk to. American Chronic Pain Association

32 Discussion What similarities are there between the industry perspective on UHC and the patient principles of UHC? What do you think worked in the models shared and what do you think didn t work? Were they equitable? Affordable? Provide high quality healthcare? How do these models compare with your own system? What would a patient-centred healthcare system look like? #GPC2014
