Family health insurance notification last week.

Mine is cancelled too (HDHP). I prepaid my premium in September to try and save some $ and in "hope" that I can have a bit more time to figure out what is in the bill. Anyway, my HI carrier will keep that in place until the last day of September 2014.

That is what mine is right now. Catastrophic, 6500 deductible. I pay for all office visits and full payment for services and prescriptions. That privilege cost me 7600 a year right now.

Does not meet minimum coverage levels. 'Hit by a bus' level coverage is no longer available.

Was not his statement more like "If you like your coverage you can keep it." ? If so you must not like your coverage. Even if you say you do, you just don't know any better and really don't.

Company I work for was one of the first 150 to get a waiver. Our high deductible plan healthcare used to look unappealing, but it's looking better by the day.

Really sorry to hear this guys.

OP, take your preium and double it--that is what an ACA approved plan will cost you. I know because that is what I pay and I am close to not being able to justify it. My plan isn't changing, but I am one of the lucky ones who will continue to see premiums skyrocket.

If you are thinking about bending your knee and enrolling in Obamacare, I have mixed feelings. This is a manufactured crisis designed to get us all on Obamacare eventually. It's easy to say "screw 'em I won't do it" but it's much harder to risk a loved one's life and going without insurance.

This is where I say fighitng is easier, but the complancy/idiocy of the average Merican disagrees...

My company still offers the same plans for next year and I'm all done signing up. Saw a slight increase in premiums for the same coverage.
sorry to hear for all the troubles, I expect nothing less from the chief idiot.

Not into paying for addiction treatment you won't use?
(nor am I from general funds, that is the one acceptable use of a sin tax to me)

I contacted a health insurance broker and he over enthusiastically told me how much ACA was going to save me and what a large tax payer subsidy I qualify for (almost 200 a month).

I think, AND I COULD BE WRONG (so don't take my word for it), you have to pay the premiums up front and get the "subsidy" at tax return time.

Nah, the free money comes every month, it has to. I'd be interested to know the details on how (what happens if you don't pay for instance) but alot of people would be unable to pay and even more would be ready to tar & feather someone if the rebate came all at once.

$562 x twice a month (13,488 a year) for Shitty ass Kaiser for 3 people. Can't wait to see what next year brings.
