Anonymous Coward User ID: 49164253 United States 11/22/2013 12:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Health and Human Services plans to delay the start of the second year of Obamacare enrollment by one month to allow insurers more time to set rates after assessing their plan experiences during 2014, a department official said Thursday night. Quoting: phocuss The decision means that sign-ups for the 2015 plan year would begin on Nov. 15, 2014 and end on Jan. 15, 2015 instead of the Oct. 15-Dec. 7 window previously announced. The date change, first reported by Bloomberg, also lengthens the enrollment period by a week. However, this misses the real risk for the White House, which isn’t in the individual market in 2015.The people in that market will have been battered all year with higher premiums and ridiculous deductibles, and another round of escalation in both will only have a limited shock value. The risk is in the employer-provided group market, where costs will either skyrocket or employees will get kicked out of their coverage and forced into the individual market. Those decisions will come in the late summer or early fall, as businesses have to prepare 2015 budgets in those time frames. [link to hotair.com] I wonder if the second year might bring good news for those in the individual market! Think I am crazy? Right now, their rates are probably so high because all the cost from the new undesirable insurees is on their shoulders. Once the employees have to start kicking in, the cost would be spread more broadly and rates in the individual market would fall. Am I right? Or crazy? |

Either the LAW IS THE LAW or it is a piece of HORSE SHIT. Which is it? It's both. It is the law, it was jammed thru wrongly and in violation of proper procedure, but our government has no procedures for undoing such laws. It is also, undeniably, horseshit. |

Either the LAW IS THE LAW or it is a piece of HORSE SHIT. Which is it? Congress has let them get away with change the law so many times, that now they believe they can just make legislation with a pen stroke whenever they want. If congress doesn't slap them down, we are all fucked. Since the total number of balls in congress could be counted on your fingers, we're all fucked. This is, without a doubt, the most nutless group of politicians ever assembled in one place. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage.
