That’s sneakier than getting canceled outright.
Let me guess: Tea Party members, GOP contributors, gun owners, veterans, CCW permit holders, Evangelicals, conservative bloggers and small business owners?
Pelosi knew.
What difference does it make ?
This way you get no lapse in your policy and the price goes up.
When they cancel you there is a lapse—a time when you have no insurance , and your price goes up.
This way keeps you out of the Obamacare exchange—that’s a good thing.
Sure: Either way you get screwed, this way they use a lubricant.
Wife’s plan was cancelled by Florida Blue but at least they had the courtesy to call and tell us an option was available. Premium went up by 66%, deductible was raised to $6,250, and some coverage for testing was either omitted or the co-pay significantly increased. But it’s nice to know she has maternity coverage now that she’s well beyond her child bearing age. My increase in Social Security won’t come close to covering the health insurance increase, hence my disposable income will decrease. I’m sure our politicians allowed for the “trickle down” effect of Americans having less to spend and how it will affect the economy. Why, all we need to do is raise the minimum wage and put out more government subsidies. Yeah, like that will work.....
I’m with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Illinois and I think that’s what happened to me.
Got a letter stating that due to the ACA provisions my insurance premiums would be going up $170.00
I just got a cancellation letter - no offer of substitution. Maybe some states allow insurers to propose a substitution, but others do not. It’s not consistent from state to state.
I am on LifeWise in Washington state. LifeWise sent me a letter telling me that unless they hear from me they will change me to a Bronze plan
I currently pay 598.00 per month. My new payment would be 550.00 on the Bronze with higher deductibles. They will change me on January 1 unless I say differently. They say I can alter this plan up until my normal renew date which is March 1.
I have looked around on the Washington state site, which is one of the ones that works. Regence, Blueshield and Group Health would all be the same as what Lifewise quotes. I have looked at other Lifewise plans costing more with lower deductibles.
I am going to just let Lifewise throw me onto the Bronze. My max doctor visits in a year for the last 15 years have been three, two preventive ones and maybe a test or a hiking injury visit.
I am going to try not to touch putting any info on the site so that I will not be counted as a successful enrollee and also will not more publicly disclose my information.
