OK, I just checked and got the final figures... For wifey & I: Obamacare- $1,058 per month and it covers 70%. My Current Open Plan: $915 per month and it covers 90%.
A couple of my parents' friends are waiting for coverage. They've been waiting and battling paperwork for months now. In one case, a spouse is in dire need of coverage/medication due to fraudulent practices/bad prescriptions of a prior doctor, but they've been without coverage since January 1st and still battling paperwork. Supposedly, one of the people were complaining about not being covered nearly three months into the year, and was told to be thankful they filed their paperwork when they did, and that those who have not yet filed paperwork for coverage will likely not receive coverage until 2015 because the paperwork logjam.
And many top hospitals are not covered by Obamacare. No big deal, except they're some of the best in the country for cancer treatments..... Just sayin'. http://healthyliving.msn.com/diseases/cancer/health-law-concerns-for-cancer-centers
I blame Obama! :MARIS61: But really...... I have good insurance. I don't care about the poor people. (I kid, I kid.)
My plan is about the same but its through my employer, it would have been slightly more expensive but I mad a few changes that actually save me money. Biggest difference Ive noticed now is that everything beyond normal doctors or ER visits now need to meet a deductible of $500 before my plan covers anything, then they cover a percentage till my total out of pocket is met at $2k (I think). What this boils down to so far for me is that my chiropractor appointments use to be covered by a copay by me at $15 now I have to pay the full $35 until my deductible is met. The deductible though is from my entire health care costs so anything I spend on anything adds to it. With my savings its been a wash so far, and I could skip my chiropractor if I money was an issue, but I like it and feel it helps me.
