Heres a quick look at some of the headlines. From inside the Washington Post there is this story. We want to get your calls and comments. Well begin with nick joining us from tennessee. Caller let me preface this by saying im one of those people if i may embellish our president s quote that clings to his bible his guns his wallet and the constitution. And this is definitely encroachment on freedom. I know thats not in vogue nowadays but we are being swallowed by this beheemutsdz that were creating in washington thats taking control of every aspect of our lives from the cradle to our grave. People think this is going to work like the v. A. But people dont realize theres a commandment that the liberals live by, at least the leadership does, that the government the government can be the only ones ben evlevent ben factor for a prolonged period without becoming a bloated black mailing bribing bureaucracy. And you watch your children are really going to suffer for this. And this slavery is going to be youre the one who is going to put the shackles on them. A child born nowadays they own 166,000 interest on the debt alone. Is that the kind of legacy you want to give them . Host thanks for the call. Well go to tim in ohio. This headline with the obamacare window Closing Health care. Gov activity is picking up. Good morning. What do you think about the Affordable Care act . Caller im not sure about it because we really dont know enough about it to make a good judgment. But i was wondering, if you have if you work for a job and they pay your health care are you going to be taxed . Host youre taxed if you dont signed up. Caller no. Are they going to tax your Health Insurance. Host we can find out from jason. Caller ork. Host you face a fee if you dont sign up for the Affordable Care act and then that fee increases over the next five to ten years if you fail to sign up. This is a story from the philadelphia website. Thats this morning from the philadelphia website. Lets go to samuel from virginia. Caller i like the law. Im a medicare patient. My question is this. When you speak to the people whether they like the law or not like the law, ask them what kind of insurance they have today. What kind of protection they have. Are they just speaking in bits like it because of o host this is the headline from inside the a section of the Washington Post. Traffic to traffic to health care. Gov. What does todays deadline mean . Guest today is the last day to sign up for an individual health plan for the 2015 year. The law establishes specific enrollment one knows windows. You will not have a chance to sign up again for health plan until about october, which is when the next window is expected to open. Host we had an earlier caller about the irss role in all of this. What penalties can consumers face . Guest this is the first year that counties will go out for the individual mandate. It is expected about guest 6 Million People will face a penalty guest guest for not guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest guest not having insurance coverage. They have not set for sure whether that is going to happen or not. We know the counties last year it was 95 and 1 of your income if you did not have qualifying Health Insurance. This coming year, if you stay uninsured for 2015, that goes up to either 325 or 2 of your income. A lot of people will be discovering the penalty for the first time. Host the department of health and Human Services releasing figures, including this that 87 of it consumers qualify for tax credits. What type of text credits are we talking about . Guest these are premium tax credits. Monthly Financial Assistance to pay for your Health Insurance. It goes to the insurer, not the consumer. What it means is that you see a smaller price on your Health Insurance. What the administration has said this year is that these tax credits are worth about 260 a month. On average, if youre receiving a tax credit, that is knocking about three fourths of the price of the cost of your monthly premium. Host let me ask you about a related story about those who are immigrants in his country and lost coverage. About 200,000 people will be dropped from the plan by the end of this month. You explain what this is about . Guest this goes back to the acas citizenship requirements. H h s was not able to verify citizenship status. This couldve been for a number of reasons. The law is clear that if you do not meet these requirements, you cannot sign up for coverage. These people who are losing their coverage, their problem is either verifying it or they could not verify it. Host if you have not signed up by tomorrow, what does that mean . Guest that means you do not have a chance to sign up again until october. If you do not have insurance you risk the chance that youll face an individual mandate penalty. There is some sort of leeway. If you start an application but have not finished it by today, the ministry should says there will be some time reagan go back in and make sure you complete it the Administration Says there will be some time where you can go back in and complete it. It essentially means that your chance to buy your own coverage is for the most part over this year. Host what is different this year compared to last year with regard to the site itself . Not nearly as many glitches. There was a slight delay yesterday. Stark difference from last year. Guest the site is running more smoothly. I imagine this is how the administration imagines it wouldve run the first year. It is been about a three Month Enrollment window. We have not heard any major issues. Yesterday was the first time i could remember that the site was glitchy for a number of hours. That mightve been unexpected enrollment surges at the end of this deadline. For the most part, the website has been working more smoothly. Host Jason Millman, joining us live on the sunday morning. His work is Available Online. Thank you for being with us. Guest thank you. Host we continue with your calls and comments. Lets go to milley lets go to bob in stevens point, wisconsin. Caller tomorrow or the next day, the president is going to stand up and say, look how many people signed up. What he does not realize is that obamacare is like the speed limit. People who do not like it are signing up. Ask the callers if they signed up for it if they are for it. I think a lot of them are doing it because they have to and he might turn around and make some kind of executive orders to penalize people who did not know. Host thank you for the call. Next, milley in kingsport, tennessee. Caller good morning. I do not like this Affordable Care act. It is a law, but only for certain ones. They penalize ones that do not have insurance but then the ones that make under the limit, it is not a law for them. How can this be even a law . Host the formal care act is bad for the country because it uses transfer of wealth, theft by government dries failure, and illegal gains for health coverage. You can join in on the conversation. You say you are not sure about the law. Caller i have my insurance through my husbands employer. The thing im not sure about is, i do not think it is what anybody really wanted. I think it was a big compromise. I do not think that when you are sick, it ought to be about money. I do not think americans need Health Insurance. I think they need health care. I think it should be without Insurance Companies. Do like all the other developed nations in the world. If you are sick. That is my comment. Host sunny joining us from texas. You like the law why . Caller it is a good law. People try to look at the Affordable Care act as the way it is laid out. Some people did get a rise in premiums because they had insufficient policies.

It is a pretty liberal application process and they grant most of those waivers if you submit the information in time. Caller ok. In the sense of it, just this week, i lost my job.

Stephen joining us from chesapeake, virginia. Caller good morning. I do not like this Health Care Law because i cannot afford it. I am a selfemployed professional. I have been selfemployed and playing private paying private Health Insurance for 20 years for me and my family. I was really hoping that obama would do something about people like me. I lost my Health Insurance six years ago when they jacked up the rates from 660 to 820 a month, just for the basic things. I voted for obama in 2008, mainly because i was hoping he would help people like me. When i looked last year at how much i would have to pay for this thing it is 600 premium, just for me. My kids are grown up now. My wife is on Social Security, thank god. Not Social Security, medicare. Monthly premium, 6,000 copayment and 6,000 deductible. I would have to pay those parasitic Insurance Companies about 18,000 before they would pay one cent. I cannot afford it. Host thank you for the call.

It is unfair and incomplete. Diane is joining us from augustine, georgia. Caller i like it because everybody should be able to get Affordable Health care. If you just think about it everybody now before when i was paying a deductible for exams and everything i was getting once a year, now you do not have to pay those deductibles because we have better insurance. People say, i like my insurance before, but your insurance before could bankrupt you and have you where you could lose your home and everything because of high medical bills you have. Host michael says the Affordable Care act is still not fully implemented and will not be until 2018 at the earliest. We are long way from seeing what it actually is.

You say you are not sure why . Caller our lost them here are different from the rest of texas our laws down here are different from the rest of texas. Doctors will be unaccountable for any mishaps that happen in the surgery room. We have been living with that problem for a long time. I make about 600 month. When i signed up yesterday, what they are telling me is that whether i can afford that are not, i have to pay a car and after that, just to get to work i dont have any money. They are taking everything ive got. If they had me to my wifes, her bills and rooms from 300 month to 900 month. That was impossible. Now, im stuck being broke and i do not know if i can afford this anymore because im working parttime. They claim theyre going to be cutting the hours. Im not sure if this was a good thing. I know that for the last 20 years the only thing i ever needed a doctor for was surgery on my knee. I do not really have Health Problems and i have a good immune system. I am paying for something that only if i use it and until then im going to go broke trying to afford it. Host could you make that argument that that is the same with Car Insurance . You do not need it until you need it . Caller i thought about that. When it became mandatory. This thing about forcing people we have a lot of problems in south texas that we see up close. Our neighbors are being infiltrated by everything that is happening down there. They are sticking them in the neighborhoods down here in corpus christi. That is a problem for us because they are overwhelming the medical system down here because that is the first thing they do.

Caller if you remember, you can bring up film of these politicians, obamas boys that said there is 30 35 Million People who do not have health care and this will give them access. Numbers do not lie. If this was such a great thing how come there are not what happened to the other 20 million who have not signed up . This was the figure that they sold the thing on, which was a lie. Everything he said, affordable, is a lie. I know people who cannot retire because where they are at, they have insurance at work but as soon as they retire, either the husband or the wife had medical problems, it
