Don’t worry, the premiums go up next year....
Could be they'll go down...We'll know right after the elections...
Upon retiring in late Summer, I was faced with the choice of continuing with the Employer plan on my own (COBRA) or selecting a wonderful plan from the Marketplace, which we were told should be much more competitive. Not surprisingly, “Healthy-NY” plans with comparable features cost 10%+ MORE, plus involved new, higher deductibles (already paid under the current plan).
So if I’m going to pay through the nose each month, at least I know what I’ll get through the end of the year anyway. Starting in 2015 though, it will be a whole new ballgame…
Ya know, stephen, not only am I *not* worried, I’m also pleased. The morons have GOT to be punished, and better so if it be by their own hand. And throw in a little global warming, too. It’s predicted to be an even colder winter.
LOL, you know damn good and well they are not going down if they are waiting until after the elections to release the rates...
