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!!!!!!}
Do they have mail order? That might be a good solution.
At our ages, there aren't a lot of good choices.
If you can deal with them, Kaiser has accepted a couple of my hard to place clients recently. Blue Shield, Health Net, and Pacificare are tougher. One never knows what underwriting will do until one apples.
The question is if Regence BlueShield will fight this.
That is illegal care under the new legislation. Catastrophic coverage doesn't meet the criteria.
Ping!

Sounds like you’re talking about a Medicare Advantage plan. The notice should say that you have to make another choice between Nov. 15 and the end of the year. You can either pick another Medicare Advantage plan (so far most are still in business), or go back to original Medicare Part B. If you do the latter, you’ll want to get a part D drug plan, and consider whether adding a Medigap policy makes sense for you.

Sounds like a good plan to me.
Bump and Bookmarked .....
A lot of stunned Obama supporters were in the audience. The look on their faces was priceless, we'll not priceless, I guess I paid for it with my new higher premiums. I must have missed something, because Obama promised that the insurance would cost less and cover more.
Someone today suggested that I check out this site.
Any experience here anyone?

esurance.com is just a brokerage site. I have always preferred to work with brokers/agents who have a lot of experience in the state you live. They know the track record of the companies they quote.
