It is interesting as well that he estimates about 200,000 a month are signing up now as a result of qualifying life changing events, with probably about the same number going off each month for opposite reason.

Est. Exch. QHPs as of June 10, 2014: 7.50M (Paid) / 8.40M (Total)

Estimated Total, all sources: (17.8 M - 28.2 M)

Individual QHP Range: (9.7M - 16.4M) • Medicaid/CHIP (6.3M - 8.5M)

ESIs (154K confirmed; up to 8M more possible) • Sub26ers (1.63M - 3.13M)

I will say this though, I've seen tons of BC/BS commercials on TV, whereas I never, ever saw them before. But I still can't afford even the most crappiest plan so it's still no good for me.

I basically just got a $1000 raise.

What is the cost where you are for a Silver Plan from BCBS? Is it that you can't afford it or that you don't want to pay for it?

You are repeating yourself and as more and more time passes your refrain rings more and more hollow.

You are the one carrying the water despite all facts to the contrary. Name one gov't program run by the gov't that is more efficient than the private sector.

You can't.

Quote:By 2024..... estimate that there will be more than 40 million uninsured, roughly 10% more than today.

Quote:But the steepest price increases will not occur until 2017 and after, when three things happen.

First will be the Affordable Care Act's "essential benefits" requirements.

The law's "reinsurance" program will also expire in 2017. Health insurers will no longer be able to bill the government for 80% of a patient's health-care costs...

Employer-sponsored coverage will also come under pressure. The data show that an increasing number of businesses are likely to cancel their plans in favor of letting employees get coverage on the exchanges

We have not begun to scratch the surface of the unintended consequences of this debacle.

Quote:Obamacare Sign-Up Errors Put Some of 2 Million Enrollees in Jeopardy

The Obamacare enrollment flap is far from over.

Some of the more than 2 million Americans who signed up for insurance through HealthCare.gov could be at risk of losing their coverage or be forced to repay part of all of their premium subsidy because of discrepancies with their applications, according to a government document obtained by the Associated Press and confirmed to ABC News by an administration official.

That’s roughly one in four applicants overall.

In many cases consumers provided identity and income information that conflicts with what the government has on record, the Department of Health and Human Services said today.

The result: some Americans may have received greater subsidies than merited or were allowed to purchase plans for which they were ineligible. HHS says it’s now “double- and triple-checking” with applicants to verify their information.

“Those consumers were still able to enroll in Marketplace coverage — as provided for in the law — but, when they enrolled, they received a notice instructing them to submit a little bit more information,” HHS spokeswoman Julie Bataille explained today in a blog post.

It's like $525 per month with $5,000.00 OOP... I can't remember the exact numbers, but I pasted the email on here once, that I got from Clint, my BC/BS rep. That monthly payment is $40.00 less than my mortgage and since I pay for everything alone, along with child support, I simply can't afford it. Nobodies fault but my own, but still unaffordable, and I don't qualify for a subsidy because my job offers insurance.
