When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, it required health insurers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies to share in the cost because they would get new paying customers. With an 8 billion tax on health insurers due on September 30. They are getting helped from an odd source, Taxpayers. States and the federal government will spend at least 700 million this year to pay the tax for their medicaid health plans. State Medicaid agencies say they have little choice but to pay the tax for health plans they hire to insure their poorest residents.
Question: why are the people of our community having to help pay the tax on obamacare?
