Obama Care
This is interesting. Note Andy's musings at the end of the article. I'm wondering what other discoveries will be made as the act becomes more studied. I'm sure the IRS will let us know.

Re: Obama Care
It is good business if you're selling stuff, be it merchandise or advice, in the hinterland to complain about the ACA but actually it is going great in the initial stages, particularly in blue states that have or will have set up exchanges and medicaid expansion.
In red states not so much but I doubt that any of the politicians who are responsibity are likely to cop to it.

Re: Obama Care
This amount of govt involvment is never good especially in the ACA with the IRS. The cost are way underestimated.

Re: Obama Care
Wow, just opened my health insurance premium notice -- increase of 33%!!! Yes, I'm a year older, but no changes in health situation, don't take any drugs, not on any medications, don't think I've even needed to see a doctor for over a year. What's going on? Are individual medical policies getting a special hit from Obamacare?

Re: Obama Care
Our HSA 10000 Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage premium rate rose from $373 a month to $404 a month this year, and our insurance age is 59. I didn't think that was too bad, because last year, it stayed level in cost. I am a Type II diabetic, so we are lucky to cover at standard rates.
Just received a multipage flyer from our insurer, explaining that the ACA is coming, and how the company will be working o inform us of our options and available coverage, including grandfathered plans. Ours has been held long enough to qualify, so we will weigh the options between now and this fall.
More information is promised, in navigating what thy call a Blue Map, by mailing soon. In addition, there are several websites, toll-free numbers, and 800 Farm Bureau agents trained to help us figure this one out. I am hoping we will need to do next to nothing, or can improve our coverage for reasonable cost.
There is a lot of misinformation out there over this issue. I am taking it as " I'll cross that bridge when we get to it" approach.
