Just thank God you don't live in Hawaii.So???
Business owners are becoming more creative with how they insure their employees.
Although the additional taxes don't come into effect until after the next Presidential election... I used to provide my employees with what would be considered a "Cadillac Plan".
They could see any doctor they wanted ... Get any treatment they wanted ... And policy requirements/approval amounted to giving the hospital or doctor their insurance card.
Crap ... The insurer would pay for airfare if necessary to see a specialist.
No doubt ... Coverage like that costs anyone a lot of money.
Additionally ... The ACA has targeted plans like the one I offered my employees with additional taxes.
I had planned on getting low level coverage for my employees ... And putting the extra money I now pay towards their better coverage in HSA's for their use if necessary to avoid the new taxes and still contribute more towards their healthcare ... But the Government won't allow that either and will tax the HSA's as well.
The only thing the new tax is attempting to do ... Is punish the people who can and are willing to provide more for their employees.
The government isn't looking out for your best interests ... It is penalizing those who do more ... And actually care more about the people who we have invested in.
The government doesn't want anyone to have any control over their healthcare decisions ... Unless they are willing to pay a 40% excise tax for having it.
As is ... I will not pay the extra taxes ... And will provide lower coverage.
I will take the money I used to spend on coverage and invest it ... Then use it to offset as much of the additional healthcare costs I can annually (at least until the money runs out) ... The employees are extremely upset with the changes.

DENVER -
The state's health exchange is looking at more than doubling the fee that insurers pass onto customers who buy policies.
The Denver Postreports Connect for Health Colorado staff recommended the increase Monday as $177 million in federal startup grants come to a close and as insurance carriers prepare to submit their rate plans by May 29.
If the health exchange board approves the 3.5 percent charge for premiums, the fee for a $4,000 yearly plan would go up by $84. Staff also recommended upping a monthly assessment charge for 1.2 million private insurance policies to bring in $2 million more. (how abut that? they "The health exchange BOARD can do what ever they want)
ALL of it here:
Health exchange considers higher fees as federal grants end News - Home
The plan is expected to come up for a vote next week and would boost revenue for the exchange by $5.8 million.
It was written by insurance companies to pack as much of your money into their pockets as they can.
oh I know. this passed on the people against their will. by THE Democrats. It was so slimy, but their base of voters didn't care. so now they get to PAY more for it too. I can't work up any sympathy for them
If I feel like it..
I see, the Al Sharpton model..

Every eligible vet was sent a letter with their ID card for services outside the VA, but you must get prior authorization...The Vat can now go locally and have been able to since last year, if the vet lives over 50 miles from the nearest VA or you are having long wait periods to see the doc at the VA..It's called veterans choice
That's true ... But the vet has to know that before they go to the VA or request services.
Otherwise ... They will send the vet to wherever they want.
If you are a vet ... And want to ensure you get the best service from the VA ... Then make sure you have an advocate that will explain all you are entitled to.
I mean damn ... It is the government ... And they will shortchange you as a vet if they can.
They cut costs by screwing the people who complain the least ... And accept the punishment.
.
Tell the docs to take a pay cut..Meanwhile in Kentucky hospitals are laying off staff due to funding cuts by the government.
We will be seeing a lot more of this folks.
