Re: Just Lost My Insurance

I am not that concerned about Obama Care or less Care, I am concerned about the unsustainable federal deficit of 30% or more of the Federal Budget. US Treasury would be worthless and the Federal Bank is buying $85B each month of that worthless paper. That is $3,000,000,000 each day!

Unless you work with a bunch of people that are already in the high risk pool... In that event your costs may go down. It's all conjecture at this point.

I'm anxiously awaiting actual costs on this across the USA - apparently the software isn't in place to support pricing on the exchanges yet. I hear all the chest thumping on Obamacare, I want to see what the actual metrics are - or see a realistic alternative proposed.
My total premium cost on the exchange for a family of 3, with dental and vision coverage, was approximately $14,000 for the year. Luckily, my employer is covering about 65% of that amount for me.
It seems a family of 4 would pay $14k BEFORE a single cent is paid by the insurance. $7k premiums and $7k deductible! If you self-employed or semi-employed. That is a big BIG tax to swallow.

Re: Just Lost My Insurance

As self-employed, COBRA ended September 9, 2013. Now, I am waiting till Oct 1st so I can shop for Family Health Insurance plan. Not sure what I will pay and what benefits are covered. The only good thing about Obama care, no pre-existing condition denial nor limit for the coverage.
