My employer covers me but not my family. They offer unsubsidized dependant coverage at about $650 a month. Because they offer that we can't get the gov. subsidy and a private plan is about $700 a month for the wife and kids.
But I'm an overweight inky smoker and have been assured by the membership here that they pay my medical expenses. I guess the check got lost in the mail or something. |

I jumped back on my dad's plan to avoid the stupid expensive plans for young, healthy people that hardly ever need anything in the way of medical care. I cannot afford the prices they demand.

Open enrollment is the time of year policies are available for people to choose and make changes to their policies. You can keep the plan you have, or change plans, or change people on your policy. If you have a need to change/start your policy after open enrollment, talk to your HR department, there are allowances for those that need to make changes or start a policy. See who takes the plan before you claim the savings. I took a plan in my state and had a hard time finding anyone who actually accepted the plan. We got real lucky, our new policy has our current Primary care physician listed, so it was a no brainer. At the worse, any refferal will have me driving to Phoenix for specialist, which seem to be better doctors anyway. |

Well I'm retired and don't have any health insurance....   But my retirement plan as I have it planned out is to start medical/dental insurance in a year and a half. Right now I can't afford it but my IRA retirement kicks in in 18 months.

Not eligible for subsidy. Same Plan, same price, same benefits for years before PPACA. Same Plan, $100 bump in monthly premium every year since PPACA, less benefits every year since PPACA. FBHO |

Employer pays my way, but not my family.
Last year Obamacare made me go from $300 a month for my family to $1,400 for my family per month. I found out that Obama wants more money out of me, and wants me to now Pay $1,952.37 per month for my family for semi low grade plan. I was told that i am Not Eligible for any subsidies. I have to tell Obama to FUCK OFF! If i go thru my employer, i have to pay $2,200 per month for my family for HMO plan, $2,900 for PPO plan. FUCK YOU OBAMA CARE aka Unaffordable Healthcare.
PS. i only make $3,500 a month after taxes, wife is a stay at home mom who home schools our children. FUCK YOU Obama, you fucking dirty lying sack of Shit. |

That's why I changed plans.
I retired out of D.H.S./I.C.E. back in 07 and my plan was only $235 a month, lo and behold, this year it was up to $855 a month. That was money I was planning on using for incidentals like food, utility bills ect... My wife and I have really been hit hard by Obamacare, and I was lucky to get my plan down to a reasonable amount for the same basic coverage. Also found out that my original plan Healthnet is one of the ones that pays for ACCESS (or however it's spelled) which is the insurance handout for the un insured. Guess who ended up paying for the indigents by rate hikes. |

I can't wait until the employer mandate kicks in on 1/15. You are going hear a lot of pissing and moaning then, unless the Dicktator changes the law again or SCOTUS does it for him.
It will be interesting to see how all the unions either fuck their members or the Dicktator fucks the taxpayers/employers some more. What a FUBAR the whole mess is.

I dumped Healthnet in Arizona years ago. I retired with great insurance, went with BC/BS PPO for $132.00? a month. Fill out an online survey and they sent me a debit card with money on it which paid all my co-pays this year. I get vision insurance for $10.00 a month. Aetna dental for $35.00 or so a month.

Wife and I both self employed. Paying out the ass for shitty health care plan. Our provider sent us a notice that they could no longer meet the requirements so they closed up shop. Our agent told us to sign up for O'care. "it'll save you over $600 a month, better deductibles, she says".
So we did. They fucked up all of the paperwork, cashed our checks and then cancelled our policies due to non-payment. A week after the cancellation letter we got ID cards in the mail. After spending weeks on the phone trying to get that mess straightened out ( or our money back) they told us we could not re-sign due to being cancelled for non payment. You can file an appeal, or wait for open enrollment. Well, we can't "wait" asshole, it was your mistake and my 15 yo daughter is a transplant patient and takes about 10 grand, yeah that's right...$10,000 worth of meds every month. They ended up agreeing to let us sign back up if we paid the back insurance on the two months they dicked us around telling us we never had it. No thanks. Finally got a refund check last week for the money we supposedly never sent in. Welcome to my life. . FBHO |
