Right, insurance for my husband and me costs $24,528. Employer pays almost $17,000 per year of the cost. I'm not sure he will be able to offer the coverage if costs continue to rise. By the way, it's not a Cadillac plan by any means. Plan only covers generic drugs.
That is the way they will force employers to drop coverage. Which in turn will force individuals onto the govt plan.
We cannot avoid paying the penalty or buying qualifying insurance.
On the Bill Bennet radio show this morning they had a MD call in. Apparently there are groups of MDs and other providers looking into going completely private. The Govt is forcing this onto the providers through their medicare payments. If they do not accept govt payments then they can exist outside the obamacare program.
BTW, it sounds like you have one of those Cadillac plans. I think there are special penalties for 1%’ers like you.
