My Blue Cross plan is being canceled. I called my agent today and she’s going to get some quotes for me, so I don’t yet know how they will compare to my old policy.
She said there’s no reason to go on the exchanges unless you can’t get insurance privately or may qualify for a subsidy. Neither of those applies to me.
She also said that the exchanges are being flooded with high risk people (pre-existing conditions) and those who will receive subsidies. Also that your premiums on the exchange will be through the roof if you don’t fall into one of those two categories.
She checked for herself. She’s maybe 55-60 years old and her premium through the exchange would be in excess of $2,000/month.
Her observation is be prepared because taxes are going to go sky high to implement this program because there will be so few people who will be paying their own way.
it’s a tax
