What if one becomes a resident of Puerto Rico?
I wouldn’t pretend to be able to tell you.
My/our only hope is that “natural” capitalistic forces induce the admin to make changes and changes and changes...until the thing collapses.
My thinking has been twofold:
1: Since the promise was made that “you can keep...” there is (in my amateur legal opinion) an assertable claim of “detrimental reliance” eg; fraud, and thus an increase in healthcare expenses should be deductible against income taxes, provided one files a 4684 Casualty/Theft Loss. That really only helps those with enough income to itemize expenses (hasn’t been especially worth it in recent years, for many) and in any event only mitigates about 1/3rd the loss. By “loss” in this case I am referring to the theft of the delta increase in healthcare costs.
I am fairly sure Ms. Lerner would come out retirement to audit your ass if you or I tried this, but somebody should.
2: I wonder if an insurance-insurance industry could be brought into existence, in other words, a derivative market that would insure against catastrophic healthcare premia rises.
I will now shut my mouth and await the drone strike. Been nice knowing y’all.
