Obamacare After the Election


So what can we expect now that we know the results of the presidential election when it comes to Obamacare?  We now know that President Obama has won a second term,  but many of us wonder what lies ahead?  A blog named Beyond Healthcare Reform had some very interesting facts on what to expect in regards to the next four years, and also after.  We know that with Romney losing, there will be no major overhaul in health care.  The Republicans left in power of course will still try to place a barrier, but they just might be fighting a loosing battle.  According to what the Beyond HealthCare Reform blog is stating, a backlog of proposed regulations implementing health reform by the Department of Health and Human Services is expected to be released.  Also states are required if they have not already to announce if they will implement health insurance exchange.  So needles to say that with the future of the presidency locked in for another guaranteed four years, the Department of Health, and many other departments, and local state governments are now scurrying to adjust for major health care changes. 

Another interesting blog provides some great information on how the states will proceed with the new Obamacare plan.  PharmExecBlog is stating that all states must report to the federal government what there state health exchanges will be.  This is a vital to the federal government because the states they are responsible for handing over services to 30 million new medicaid individuals.  This is not going to be an easy task, as there has already been outrage from some of the states, some even have vowed to refuse Obamacare at all cost.  Needless to say these upcoming weeks will be very interesting.
