Health Insurance For Drivers With "Obamacare"

Don't tell them that. They are content just looking at the "purchase price". They can't do the math and realize that higher deductibles are just another way of raising the premium price without raising the premium price. Many here complain that trucking companies don't pay a living wage, and yet somehow they are going to have an extra $2,000/year to meet higher deductibles so they can enjoy their "cheap insurance". But in exchange for that $2,000, the women get birth control pills covered and maybe a mammogram, not sure what the guys get.

 

My companies insurance, not my choice.

 

Here is a comparison rate coverage chart for CA

Since on the previous links posted, they are only using silver and bronze prices and only 2 different age groups, the oldest being 40, what about those that are over 40 I wonder.

 

There is now no co pay on birth control.

Three quick things you should know about Obamacare


Hi all --


In the past few days, we've received three really interesting new pieces of information about the health care law, and we wanted to share these data points with you so that you get a big picture of how things are changing for the better as the law gets implemented.


First, the Affordable Care Act is helping to make sure that insurance companies and providers have to compete for your business by creating a Health Insurance Marketplace that offers people more choice and control over their insurance choices. An estimated 80 percent of the people who will enroll in the Marketplaces live in states with five or more different insurance companies to choose from -- instead of just one or two. We've put together a memo about that, and you can read it HERE.


Second, as the health care law is helping move to a system where data helps improve consumer choices and the quality of care, the government is making more information available to consumers, from hospital charges and quality outcomes to regional health care system performance statistics. Those may sound like dry things, but businesses are springing up across the country and using this data to power new innovation. Secretary Sebelius explains this idea in more detail HERE.


Third, we got some great news about the long-term viability of Medicare. Program cost growth, both long term and short, is down -- even as new benefits for preventive care and prescription drugs are now helping tens of millions of beneficiaries. Get more information about the report that shows that Medicare is growing stronger HERE.


We're sharing this information with you because we're sure you hear people talk about the health care law in your communities all the time, and if you have questions we'd love to answer them.


Ask your questions about the health care law, and we'll answer some of them next week.


Thanks,


Tara

 

Utopia and Nirvana ... just around the corner. I hope I live long enough to see it

 

Here is another link with some info on it about out of pocket savings only being available on the silver plan.

I hate to see all the confusion that is going to be generated in the long run.

Here is a calculator that helps with some idea of a figure maybe. Click no on employer if you pay more than 9.5% out on premiums yearly is what it says when you click on it. If you smoke there is somewhere around a $4500 price increase, yikes.

Sure happy about that, but it isn't one of my priorities anymore. Maybe it will help out the younger kiddies though.
