Budget deal changes PPACA

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the new budget deal in Washington makes changes to the health care reform legislation as well.

A significant change will:

eliminate a provision of the health-care law enabling low-income workers to opt out of employer-offered health insurance and shop for more affordable coverage on insurance exchanges to be created in 2014, according to congressional aides and business groups.

The possibility that PPACA will look as it does today in 2014 is becoming less likely. Health care in American may just be an unsolvable problem until we all suffer the consequences of out of control costs and less than optimum health care. Too many Americans are insulated from these consequences today.
