Obamacare is Scary, Will Fuck You Up, Jack

Via Yglesias I went to THIS HEALTHCARE CALCULATOR; you punch in some info and it tells you how you would be affected under "Obamacare." I punched in what would be the most egregious choices, ie the criteria that people screaming on FOX News worry about - the richest of the richest of the rich in America, as well as single with no bad health conditions. And what came back was something so scary, I'm typing this under my bed, terrified of what socialist Nazis we will turn into:

Your coverage:
You can keep the employer-provided health insurance that you have. This bill requires health insurers to cover a wide range of benefits, limit cost-sharing on basic health services, and eliminate annual and lifetime limits on coverage. Also, if you work for a very small business, you may be able to enter the health insurance exchange, where individuals and small employers would come together, drawing from the benefits of buying in a large group to purchase affordable health coverage from a range of insurance options, the same way large employers can. These options will cover basic health services, be held to high regulatory standards, and include private health insurance plans, as well as a public health insurance plan.

Your health status:
Even though you’re healthy now, this bill takes steps to reduce the uncertainty of health coverage by including measures that prevent employees from feeling “locked” to their jobs and their employer-sponsored coverage in fear of an impending health problem. No matter what happens to your health, you won’t be locked to your job for health benefits, since—unlike now—insurance companies will not be able to refuse you coverage or charge you more if you become sick.

Paying for health reform:
You will see a modest increase in your income tax to help improve our health system—including the expansion of Medicaid and providing affordability credits, for individuals that need some support for their health coverage. You will also help to expand our health care workforce.

Some of the additional costs of extending health coverage to more Americans will be offset through ending the overpayment of certain Medicare expenses and increased efficiencies in both Medicaid and Medicare. Payment and delivery reforms in public programs could also initiate system-wide reforms that could yield great savings. The public health insurance option will be financed through premiums—just like all insurance companies.

To finance the health care reform package a 1 percent income tax increase would be applied to those earning $350,000-$500,000, a 1.5 percent tax for those earning $500,000 - $1 million, and 5.4 percent tax for those earning over $1 million a year.
