Obamacare

As the squabbling continues in Washington D.C. over Obamacare funding, and how the nation pays its bills, the threat of a government shutdown next week keeps growing.

With new health insurance markets launching next week, the Obama administration is unveiling premiums and plan choices for 36 states where the federal government is taking the lead to cover uninsured residents.

One week from today the Affordable care Act (ACA) also known as Obamacare goes into effect. Today, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health rallied New Jerseyans urging them to get covered and sign up for affordable health care coverage through the new marketplace.

Obamacare was the topic for President Obama and Republicans in their weekly internet and radio addresses.

The GOP-controlled House voted Friday to cripple President Barack Obama's health care law as part of a risky ploy that threatens a government shutdown in a week and a half.

House Speaker John Boehner says the House won't vote to increase the debt limit without including spending cuts to reduce the deficit.

The GOP-controlled House is cruising toward a vote to gut President Barack Obama's health care plan as part of a temporary funding bill to prevent a partial government shutdown on Oct. 1.

House GOP leaders are looking to reverse course and agree to tea party demands to try to use a vote this week on a must-pass temporary government funding bill to block implementation of President Barack Obama's health care law.

The next few weeks, even months, may be a dream come true for scam artists. Obamacare, and the rules and confusion that come with it, are serving as an open invitation for fraudsters to swoop in and steal sensitive information.

Big problems are anticipated when another phase of the Affordable Healthcare Act kicks in next year.
