My bronze plan is currently 25K a year. Is this assuming that they would get the lowest plan? The silver plan I had last year is now 36K+ a year.  |

I get mine off of the federal exchange. Its because Turdwad stopped expense sharing subsidies for low income peeps and they are making it up by increasing the wazoo out of exchange plans. (the silver plan was 1700 a month last year, same plan over 3K a month this year...) That is my family of 4's annual cost. Which I am currently getting a subsidy to offset. Which means either I take a job with benefits, soon, or I don't work at all this year and keep business profits extra low. I haven't decided which yet. Some of it is also husband's responsibility as he continues to smoke and this increases the premiums. I do not get a subsidy for that portion. Oh. I see what you mean. We have no 'employer portion' no one on the exchange does... We haven't in over a decade. |

For a family of four, that has to be hard........ |

We are a masonry contractor. We don't offer insurance to employees. We pay higher than average wages, but i'm sure it wouldn't make insurance affordable. We are very small though, at the moment two workers are on their parents plans and one is on his wife's employer plan.

Ok. So not an 'Obamacare' thing necessarily. But a Medicaid thing. That would be interesting. Yes. I could see that. Lets put all government officials on Medicaid! That might be an eye opener.

I thought we couldn’t buy on the exchange b/c DH has employees and it would have to be a small business plan that also covers employees? (It’s been a few years since I checked on it). I never fully applied, so my info is sketchy) |

I never fully applied, so my info is sketchy) My recollection is that any business with fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees was not required to provide health insurance, but that they could enroll in some type of group plan if they wished to offer it. Regardless, they would not be subject to penalty if they stayed under 50 FTE's. |
