I think the real freakout hits Jan 1st
— can’t keep doctor or even hospital
— new plan network only extends to your county not state
— most doctors not participating
— other facts start to hit home, like huge increases in max out of pocket that will bankrupt many
— end of year job dumping/converting as business scramble to get under 50 job requirement. This will really hit a lot of families hard.
# of employees for 2014 determines the requirements for 2015.
In other words, “ACA is working as designed”.
