Welcome to WPTV's Affordable Care Act Web Chat. Please ask any questions you like - don't be shy!
Jan : They will be much better - possible free if you take into account the premium tax credits (which go directly to lower premiums) and cost sharing subsidies. You will be very pleased with the premiums if you take into account the tax credits.
Janie: this is not like the old days - you will pay a bit more because you smoke but the prices will still be affordable for you. You can register on line at Marketplace.gov or by phone at 1-800-318-2596. System is very busy now but should be better by the end of the week. If you need help call Legal Aid and we can make an appointment to come to you.
Barb: From the prices we are seeing your son will be able to get very affordable coverage.
Janie: I am sorry to hear that. We are happy to help you with the sign up.
Good afternoon, We are here to help you with questiions about the Affordable Health Care.
The website has been tied up. The cost will be dependent on your income and family size. Further there will be different plans to choose from for your coverage.
The coverage will be effective January 1st. You need to make application by November 15th, so you may want to let the problems get worked out and give it a couple of weeks before trying the website at healthcare.gov. You can also goto nahu.org and find an agent to help you throught the process.
If you currently have individual coverage for your family, you don't have to do anything right now. At the renewal of your coverage in 2013, the coverage will change and will have additional benefits. This probably means there will be an increase in premium.
If you can't get medicaid, you can go through the exchange but there will be no subsidy available
It is true that only income and size of family are used to see if you are eligible for the subsidy. If the cost is not feasible, you will have a penalty of $95 or1% of your income, whichever is greater. This will be due when you file your 2014 taxes
It is $95 or 1% of your income. So if you were to make $100,000 and are single, the penalty would be $1,000.
You may be eligible for Medicaid or a large subsidy payment for your coverage depending on your income. Not sure of rules for unemployment benefits. but at minimum you would have the $95 penalty. I will try and see how unemployment benefits would be considered \.
Unemployment benefits are considered income for purposes of the penalty.
