The ObamaCare “Drafting Error” That Will Punish 500,000 Children

After seemingly-infinite stories of skyrocketing health insurance premiums, reduced access to doctors, lost jobs, and rising costs, what more could possibly go wrong with ObamaCare?

A recently reported drafting error in ObamaCare is set to punish as many as 500,000 children, and place additional burdens on millions of families already struggling to make ends meet in Obama’s failing economy. It turns out that jamming a 2,000 page bill through Congress without reading it does have consequences, Nancy Pelosi.

In what’s being called the “family glitch” in ObamaCare, Americans who receive their health insurance through their employer, but don’t get coverage for their families, will not be allowed to get subsidized coverage for their children through the ObamaCare exchanges.

From USA Today:

“Congress defined “affordable” as 9.5% or less of an employee’s household income, mostly to make sure people did not leave their workplace plans for subsidized coverage through the exchanges. But the “error” was that it only applies to the employee — and not his or her family. So, if an employer offers a woman affordable insurance, but doesn’t provide it for her family, they cannot get subsidized help through the state health exchanges.”

That’s ObamaCare: causing health premiums to explode, and then leaving America’s families to foot the skyrocketing bill.

Democrats and President Obama need to stop making excuses for their failed health law. It’s time to fully repeal ObamaCare, go back to the drawing board, and start over with a bill that will help American families, not hurt them.
