Are you receiving notice about "No Medical Coverage" with your current health plan? [Vanity]
10-18-10 | Self

Posted on 10/18/2010 3:56:19 PM PDT by Salvation

I just received notice from my insurance company that I will have no medical coverage for hospital procedures or for doctor's payments in 2011. Just prescription coverage only.

I can pay anywhere from minimum of less than $15.00 a month to maximum of nearly $120.00 a month, but there is still NO MEDICAL COVERAGE on any of the plans offered.

This is a major insurer.

Is this what we can thank Obamacare for? {NOT!!!!!!}

You won't find any significant medical coverage for the $120 per month you're talking about. Actually, some states allow companies like "Joe's Insurance Company" to promise you medical coverage, but if you get sick, you'll find out that their home office is somewhere in the Carribean and their claims department is an answering service in Bangladesh.

Look into catastrophic coverage with large deductibles. That's where most folks will wind up as more and more employers get out of the health coverage business.

We’re hoping we can throw him out this year. Out with the dirty laundry.

**Of course, he did not say that you would like it, or that
there might not be any plan left to keep.**

So true, so true.

I was wondering about that option too.

That’s not the company I have had good coverage with. But thanks for the info.

The HMO doctor co-pay will be $5.”

And how many of your doctors are in your HMO network?

Yup, same here. AARP’s MedicareComplete from SecureHorizons ends this December. A major hassle.

My cousin just received notice his employer will no longer provide him with health insurance as a benefit - beginning immediately.
He is in his mid-30’s. Three young children.

The first person in our family to become a victim of Obamacare.
My parents are sitting nervously on a Medicare Advantage plan that would very much like to keep.

From that link:

**Starting Thursday, the federal health reform law stipulates that insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to children because they are sick. But parents hoping to buy insurance for kids received a jolting message this week from Regence BlueCross BlueShield, Oregon’s largest health insurer: “Regence is no longer accepting applications for individual coverage from applicants under 19 years of age.”**

So now, there is no insurance for children either?

Call your Congressman and Senators and tell them that you will be in their offices for your check up or when you’re barfing from the flu. You expect them to provide you immediate health care since they took your other coverage away in their quest for power.

Guess it’s time to ask for an “exemption.”

LOL! Good suggestion. How about all of us going to the representatives and senators local offices when we are sick?

Can you see the lines? LOL!

One other possibility I forgot to mention is ACORN-Plus. It's offered by a private company, but it receieves some sort of government subsidy. I'm not sure of the financing details, but it costs about $350/month for full coverage, no deductibles, but a $7.50 copay for hospitalizations (any hospital) and prescriptions. No copay for doctor visits. The doctors all love the coverage.

I think you have to be a "Premium Member" of ACORN to qualify for the coverage.

Didn’t all the Congress critters get exemptions from Obamacare?

Who else?

I haven't seen anything about changes in my plan or my wife's, but I know that laws vary by state.
