My premiums for healthcare went from 400 a month to 1200 a month. I make roughly 2400 a month. Don't qualify for the tax incentives so I have been effectively priced out of the ACA. So now I get the privilege of paying a penalty because I can't afford insurance.
Oh and now the company I work for had been cutting everyone's hours from 40 to 31 a week. Why because at 32 you are considered full time. 31 or less, hey offer same shitty health insurance for same premium, don't have to give vacation hours or personal time, and no holiday pay.
Tell me again how the ACA is a -blam!-ing success.

Edited by Seggi: 4/20/2014 6:53:08 AMThe Medicaid gap is a genuine failure of health policy. You won't hear me defending the despicable state Republicans who manufactured it out of pure tribalism. I'm genuinely sorry about your situation. I hope something's done soon to expand Medicaid in the remaining states, or to otherwise cover the gap that's been created there.

No problem I understand. The increase in premiums was due to having to provide increased coverage to meet the minimum standards of the ACA. The cut in hours was the company's response to getting under the requirement of providing coverage and banking money at the same time. I agree my company is screwing over people. Looking for a new job as we speak.
