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.

Health Care Update
There has been a lot of talk about health care so we started to look into the new health care options that are available. Sad news. We need to wait until October 1, 2013 to actually read about the available options. The good news is that coverage can start as soon as January 1, 2014.
Whichever state you live in, you will be able to compare your health insurance options in the Marketplace.
We took a look at the "Marketplace" and were not able to squeeze any information out of the site. We fell into a little loop and lost interest. You can visit the site at https://www.healthcare.gov/.
The official countdown is listed as 6 days. We can enroll on October 1, 2013; coverage begins January 1, 2014; open enrollment ends closes March 31, 2014.
The new health care law offers new rights and protections that make coverage easier to understand. Well, that's what I read on the site but I am confused.
It seems that our political leaders have once again practiced brinkmanship and are putting the cart before the horse. Good job, political officials. This is our health and well being. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you might just be out of a job and will be if we have anything to do with it.
