Ditto that. I have gotten several pages explaining changes and definitions of terms.. Mine is already outrageous. Funny how they tell us everything but the price! Guess they are waiting til the last minute.

I was already noticed by my insurance carrier that I had the option to renew my policy early keeping it exactly the same for 1 year or modify it to meet Obamacare’s requirements. If I opted to modify it for Obamacare changes the premium doubled.

I don’t understand... If it doesn’t meet obamacare standards don’t you have to pay the IRS penalty? So that will be an additional 5 grand. My insurance is crappy to start with and very expensive. They are withholding the price because we can work elsewhere. I will look for another job if it is more than two hundred a month increase. That would make it almost one quarter of my monthly pay.

According to the letter I received, I could choose to renew my policy now, effective 12/2013 to 12/2014 keeping my policy exactly the same or I could choose to make it a 2014 ACA compliant policy. If I chose to go with the ACA policy, it doubled the premium. It doesn't say t in the letter, but I believe it has to do with having a policy in force at the time of the deadline. I had 30 days to make the choice and the insurance company was diligent in calling to make sure I did.
When the policy comes up for renewal (Jan 2015), I will have to conform to the ACA nightmare in full if nothing is done to stop the ACA.

I don’t think reality really matters. Everybody knows Obamacare will cause huge delays and skyrocketing rates...when that happens, I guarantee the Rats will be out in front of TV cameras, stating that ‘we need more funding to provide these services’. It will be implied that conservatives are the sugar daddies that aren’t ponying up enough funding.
I’m cynical.

I work for a school system, so I'm wondering if they will opt to pay the fine and force us on to Obama kill and not care.
I don't think Texas has any exchanges.....it's F’ed up and THAT is exactly what Obama wanted, cluster frack America good and proper.

Oh but it’s free right? Free if you never worked a day in your life, free if your a stinking bum, free if your an illegal.
Working folks, middle class...bend over and enjoy it. I’m in if someone wants to push the reset button.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Insuring people...it has everything to do with obtaining and using the ‘revenues’ generated through the health care system...and that is vast and plentiful.
When you look at Gov. controlled entities they are all vast revenue sources politicians and parties seek these funds to use for leverage on the Global Stage.

Only know about benefits for Houston ISD and Fort Bend County ISD and none of them appear to have changed yet but it likely is still a bit too early.
Do know that Aetna has really cut the doctor’s contract rates for the TRS Care (retired teachers) Medicare replacement policies so a lot of providers will be opting out of that network.
We’ll have to see how much freight the taxpayers will be willing to accept if school system costs go up any more.

Know some folks who have their commercial insurance through Humana and they seem to share your opinion. Several others who have the Medicare replacement policy think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Of course, part of the military is covered by Humana so it appears to be a real mixture of options and opinions.
Humana Military mental health benefits are carved out to Value Options which in the past was a pretty good managed care group to work with but has become very ticky tacky as of late. Particularly difficult to navigate through the Humana Military/Value Options system.

Well it’s my own fault for taking the “free” package. Co-pay is high, drug coverage is high, it just stinks. ood luck with yours, I’ll know in a couple months if caca hits the fan
