As an update to our blog published yesterday, we would like to share the sites available that will allow you to consider what health care coverage will be available to you.
The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation has a free online calculator that is easy to use and the site also offers a brief explanation of changes that are made with the Affordable Care Act. Don't be surprised with the term, "subsidy" being used.
The government web site that you can use is www.healthcare.gov which connects you to the "Marketplace". This site is still not completely up and running but unless our officials leave us hanging it should be operational by October 1, 2013.
Open enrollment begins October 1, 2013; Coverage begins January 1, 2014; Open enrollment closes March 31, 2014. Remember, everybody needs to be enrolled in a health care program and if not, they will be responsible for all medical expenses and pay a fee. You can learn more about responsibilities and fees at www.healthcare.gov.
We would like to be able to provide finalized information to you but political officials are still debating the Affordable Care Act. This is not anything to be ignored. Your health and well being are at stake.
