Not sure getting informed will do a lot of good. What with the 'law' being continually changed, delayed and ignored by the Feds and 0bama.
Randi, this is important. Many people are looking for a good dealand there is a lot on the back end of this foolish law. There are going to be a lot of surprises
My policy is cancelled effective this June thanks to the ACA or so my insurer's letter told me. The cheapest equivalent policy on the exchanges is $269 per month higher and $2000 higher deductible. My conclusion is that the ACA only benefits people who can qualify for the tax credits (welfare). Anyone else is going to pay much higher.
Thanks to all who commented. More and more info comes out everyday.
It is possible that if you get a supplemented policy, you may not get a refund. Talk with your tax preparer and see how much they know
I am in that group for now and I have already been told that at least some of my refund will be taken
Some Americans will pay more, some will pay less, depending on several individual factors, including age, health status and where they live. Experts have long said younger, healthier Americans would likely pay more on the individual market, while older or less healthy folks would pay less. And aKaiser Family Foundation study supports that.
It is a total failure on every level...from the website debacle to the cancelled policies to the staggering increases in costs and deductibles.
Karl...The foundation needs to update their study. My ins. went up 28%and I am no spring chicken.
The part that Randi has mentioned is when you file your taxes that is where it is going to hit a lot of peopleand many of the issues are still not known.
Here in Minnesota, I found only one person where the premiums went down and it was about $15.
I have realatives in 5 states. Checking with them, not one of them saw lower premiums.
Randi,
Thanks for the heads up on the Health Care Law.
