Same policy and same company I've been insured with since I was eighteen. Same $350.00 deductible today as it has been since before I even heard of Obama.
and your insurance company has to comply with ACA standards... it's the LAW... whether your pay differs or not it's your ins company who sets the scale, not ACA ... thanks for proving a point.. ACA DID NOT MAKE YOUR INSURANCE INCREASE..
Mine is not an ACA policy. Mine is an open market policy and one that has been around for a long time.
it doesn't have to be a ACA policy, and time is totally irrelevant ... your policy and every other policy in the country is mandated by LAW to comply with ACA standards ..sheesh, RW's gripe about crap they know absolutely NOTHING about
I probably know a little bit more than you. You see, my policy pretty much included all the things you tout about in the ACA even before the ACA came about. My policy is considered one of the "Cadillac policies" I been getting free flu shots, annual physicals, colonostrophies etc., for years and my wife has been receiving free mammograms and pap screenings for years. BCBS has long recognized the merits of early detection and treatment and was probably used as a model for the ACA.
you have a high end policy at a high end cost ... good for you.
the ACA is designed to help people on the other end of the spectrum ... hence the name AFFORDABLE Care Act
So happy you finally got it. Now, my employees are electricians. They make a very good hourly wage. They have the very same insurance that I have for myself. I would rank my employees at least as middle class, some possibly upper middle class since some of their wives are also employed. I employ no minimum wage employees.
