If I lose my employer provided health insurance I will pay the fine rather than pay for an 0bamaplan. The fine for me would be less than the cost of the monthly premiums. A plan with a $6,000 deductible is worthless to me. If I get in an accident or have some serious health problem I will buy an 0bamaplan after I arrive in the hospital. When I get better I will drop out of the 0bamaplan.
I’ve heard that plan before and have heard that it does not work out as well as you might hope.
I’ll admit that is only hearsay.
That’s a great plan...except for one glitch.
A lot of doctors will not treat a person past an initial consultation if that person doesn’t have insurance. Even if they are waving around fists full of self insured dollars.
Although a hospital is required to treat an emergency...they will boot you out once you are stabilized.
Bought an Obamaplan, deductible is 3700. 5 months later 8 days in hospital major surgery, bill over $80,000! Current monthly insurance payment is subsidized only 25%. Yes, I work. Yes, I still pay taxes.
Hope your need for an ObamaPlan coincides with an open enrollment period. And then you won’t get coverage until the first of the month at the earliest.
You're only allowed to join during the open enrollment period which, for 2016, runs from November 1, 2015 till January 31, 2016.

You can’t enroll unless it’s open season or you lose a job. Your scenario won’t work but I admire your rebellion;)
