the savings in the new law are more than erased by the new spending in the new law. people who go without insurance and employers who do not provide coverage meeting federal standards will pay $120 billion in penalties from 2014 to 2019. individuals pay $33 billion of that total. employers will pay the remaining $87 billion. the report found that if the medicare cuts in the bill are maintained, an estimated 15% of providers who treat medicare patients will become unprofitable within the next decade. that means they may also stop seeing medicare patients. the savings estimates with the $500 billion in medicare cuts cannot be used to keep medicare from going bankrupt while simultaneously being used to fund a new subsidy program. another important finding in that work was the class act, the long term care act imbedded in the bill. it will go bankrupt after the five-year waiting period when it begins to pay claims. if those points sound of all familiar to you, that is because groups like the chamber and many others in the business community have been repeating them over
