how much is the plan being subsidized???Nope, not doing it. Obamao can kiss my white azz.
You’re behaving rationally. That’s what everyone will do and this is why the system is doomed.
Let’s say that you get diagnosed with diabetes next month. Of course you’ll buy insurance for yourself vs paying the fine.
Ultimately we all do what’s in our best interest. And we justify it with rationalizations. It’s called Human Nature.
Do you get a subsidy? Why would you buy obamacare if you don’t get a subsidy. Why not just get private insurance?
$9,000 for having a baby,wonder where those pregnant illegal aliens get that kind of money?
How did she get such low premiums and a $500 deductible?
You could pay 12 months at $240 = $2880. If you paid the fine you’ll only be $1,880 ahead. I’d pay the $1880 and be covered.
Hope you have LifeLock.
So that’s where my taxes are going.
ANYONE who does not currently have health insurance and is expecting to have medical expenses in 2014 that exceed the Obamacare premiums SHOULD buy an Obamacare policy for 2014. Anyone who has an Obamacare policy should run up as much medical expense as possible—it’s for the good of the Republic that we assist in its death spiral.
On the other hand, anyone who is healthy and not expected to have significant expenses, should not help out Obamacare by enrolling. Such acts of non-enrollment by the healthy and/or young also will help assist in Obamacare entering its death spiral quickly.
Obamacare running massive cost overruns in 2014 will insure that participating insurers will not make a profit plus will be REQUIRED to have substantial premium increases and/or coverage/benefit decreases in 2015. Those higher premiums and crappier coverage in 2015 will further promote the death spiral and hasten the death of the monstrosity of Obamacare.
You want to make sure that baby is covered. My new born granddaughter was in the hospital for a month because of an infection. The bill was out of sight. My daughter had insurance from work that covered everyone.
Sign up for the Christian health sharing ministries, avoid the fines, and not have a cent go to funding abortions or sex changes or other folks’ risky personal behaviors they will not give up.
Is the $9000 the suggested list price, or what the hospital will actually gladly accept?
I had some tests at UPMC last year, the list price was $13k, they gladly accepted less than 2000 from the insurance company.
That’s the real question mark, the real problem with medical costs, the list prices are in fantasy land.
I have the bill from when I was born at Allegheny General, it cost my dad $154- they saved the receipt in case they wanted to bring me back (or so they said). There certainly has been a lot of inflation since 1956, but items that cost a buck and a half then aren’t $90 today
how much is the plan being subsidized???A man of principle. What will they think of next?
Make sure ya’ll under withhold in 2014 as there is no legal mechanism to collect the fine if you don’t pay besides subtracting it from your refund.
Do you have adequate life insurance? It’s real easy to ignore health insurance when you’re healthy, but sh* happens. A catastrophic health crisis for you could leave your family destitute and without a main wage earner.
Since we have medical coverage through employment, I haven’t paid too much attention to Obamacare. However, I think you can get health insurance through the exchanges or directly from the insurance companies. The only difference is that, if you want a government subsidy, you have to buy from the exchanges. If you don’t want or need government assistance, you can buy health insurance directly from insurance companies. It’s just that now insurance companies have to follow the new rules, i.e. cover pre-existing conditions, etc.
