Wait for the surprized looks when the feds go after savings accounts, stock/ bond holdings and annuities of the poor slobs who got subsidies or if your earnings get higher than the year before. The fine was waaaaay cheaper. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68760048 My income has gone down but my premiums will double next year EXCEPT If I make less than $47,000, then the govt will pay part of the premiums if I sign up for BC/BS thru Obamacare. So instead of paying $604 per month, my premiums would be $122.33 since the govt would subsidize 482.37 IF my projected income will be $30,000. Since my income will fluctuate, I will need to keep an eye on it and let them know so they can adjust. I was considering just paying the fine, but if I needed surgery, the deductible is $5,500 and then I would have to pay another $1000, but ANYTHING over that is payed for. So if I had hospital bills of 100,000 or even a million dollars, I would only have to pay for $6,500. Just something to think about until Dec 7 (or whenever the deadline is) |

If your income goes up and you fail to call them, that is when you will owe them more money (once they find out). |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68760048 Health insurance should never be based on income. No more than the price or milk and eggs are. It doesn't matter how much you make. Milk and eggs are the same price for everyone with subtle differences depending on where you live. Obamacare just punishes people when they make more money by taking more money from them for insurance. It is a horrible concept. |

Can you elaborate on how you lost your existing insurance? My BCBS premiums will double next year, but the subsidies from ACA will bring the premiums down to less than half of what I was paying - mostly because my income has gone down. (At least that is what I am told) So do you now pay a fine at tax time? |

I told him my medical plan was, "it damn well better not grow." The insurance premiums are so astronomically high that our family would have to choose between the insurance and paying rent. However, once the premium is paid, we still have to come out of pocket $6000 before the insurance would cover said tumor. Problem is, once the premium is paid, the pockets are empty. So - the medical plan for the adults in my family is just to try to treat ourselves if we get sick. If the kids get sick, then we have to go into debt to get them treated if we had to. For some people, I guess the ACA works. But for all the working families I know, it is simply devastating. There is no such thing as real insurance any more.
