The affect the ACA is having on you personally.

[Heretic]

Well with open enrollment in the air how has the ACA affected you?

With me it seems I actually get to keep my coverage and my doctors. I had only a $15 dollars per month increase. This may only be a may because I'm in the UAW and not paying for my own insurance fully. I also fall into the Cadillac category with means more taxes for me in 2018. So Did I come out alright maybe not.

OH and let's keep this about yourself not headlines of others.

different provider(right now on tail end of coverage from job I retired from): current cost $1723 per month. ACA cost $1450 per month, slight increase in deductable, slight drop in SOME copays. I opt for a platinum plan, covering two people in our late 50's, both with pre-existing conditions. Two years ago, I couldn't have gotten any policy without a HUGE deductable, no matter how much I wished to pay, and it would have had a benefit cap on top of it.
I am not eligible for subsidy of any sort.

Hasn't affected me yet. My current plan is still cheaper than one from the exchange, but with a higher deductible. I don't know how long that will last though. I'll see...........

[Spidey]

Undue stress...

That I really don't need.

Gold plan


30% increase in premiums
$1500 deductible increase
copay from $30 to $50

your employer doesn't provide insurance, CUDA?

[CUDA]

That's AFTER my employer pay portion. we are not a Huge corporation about 800 employees in all 17 locations

was paying 536.00 a month now at right at $700.00

We are ending up with roughly the very same increase as Cuda, but there is the option to go outside the school system. I wonder if we would qualify for any of those subsidies that Woodchip got? I guess I got some reading to do.

[Duper]

Cuda, who's your carrier? I've Providence. We don't pay quite that much but then again, the company I work for picks up a chunk as well.

One thing you all may want to check on is something call "cost sharing". I think it is part of the AHC and comes into play if you make some income.
