Interesting. My only employee has cancer & our insurance carrier is/was Horizon Blue Cross. I was kept on the policy for the only reason, to keep our employee in a group insurance plan. I waived coverage every year for the past 19 years. Last year our employee was diagnosed with liver cancer. Underwent surgery and chemo and is unable to work due to “chemo brain”. We have been paying her salary since January, she briefly returned to work this spring until September, then we had to let her go since she can no longer write or perform her duties. We are working to help her get disability. On Friday I was told by my Agent that she would have to apply for Obamacare insurance instead of COBRA, which of course, we were going to pay. I fear that this will be a death sentence for her...

My hat is off to you for your humanity.
You have certainly earned some jewels for you crown when you reach Heaven. I would say “God bless you” but I KNOW He already has.
Sounds like what happened with our son - fortunately we had the funds to be able to dish out $9K to take care of initial deductibles and transfer to "ObamaCare"
Would have cost us more except the hospitals/doctors still can't refuse treatment and the medical folks actually paid for his first couple months of ObamaCare because the return was way bigger than treating without insurance...
This coming year his ObamaCare premiums are gong up 50% and his deductible is doubling.
Prayers up for her.
