Liens on My House Due to ObamaCare



A friend told me that if I received any help at all with ACA and have bills they can put liens on my house and take everything I own. considering insurance is mandatory now. How can that be true?

This is only true in extreme circumstances. Firstly most states simply refuse to do this, aside it being their right, and they eat the bill. Secondly, this only typically triggers for long-term care.

This is generally explained above and detailed in the link below. In short, there is essentially nothing to worry about in practice, but many find this law frustrating none-the-less.

Obama and facts do not mix; so that is the first truth.

Here is a fact we are now and have been living since ObummerCare came into being.

This page is about liens on houses, which ObamaCare doesn’t do (but Medicaid can do for end of life care beyond a certain dollar amount). The article you posted makes a good point: the rising cost of premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance is a problem. That being said it is being compared to the claim that health insurance costs for the average family would drop by $2,500. That claim is taking into account the costs for people after cost assistance is taken into account. So while employer plans go up a few points (as they had been before the ACA) a person with cost assistance on the Marketplace pays far less than they would otherwise. When we put all those people together and take an average we can technically say costs go down on average.
