When you get a new wife, you don't repeal the old one...You "replace" her. That's the only word the GOP should use. They make terrible salespeople!

A lady told me today she just had a leg artery stent put in at a TJ Mex for $ 9000 usd ...I told her what a deal she received. She had no insurance when she left her job in California several months ago.
Sadly a lot of us might have no other options if Insurance does not get affordable soon... or carriers go bye bye

Story: Obamacare: Humana Considering Withdrawing From Health Care Marketplace : News : Headlines & Global News
Financial losses due to ObamaCare rules, premium pricing pressure from HHS, and refusal of Taxpayers to offset some the losses, could bring a 2017 Open Enrollment with ZERO on-exchange carriers, in some parts of the country.

It's a lot easier to read about all of this now that I've decided to withdraw and do other things, the whole system is a complete mess and needs to go away...

CMS is disappointed that agents aren't as interested in selling Obamacare as we used to be. Some keen strategist at HHS has determined that if there was less red-tape for training vendors, more agents would certify for 2017!

It's sad that this person doesn't have a clue as to why agent interest in ObamaCare is waning.

They probably think it was just our commission that went to zero but we still keep our cushy salaries and benefits like they enjoy.

This came out today on enrollment windows going forward from CMS:
"To help stakeholders plan ahead, CMS also finalized the open enrollment period for future years. For coverage in 2017 and 2018, open enrollment will begin on November 1 of the previous year and run through January 31 of the coverage year. For coverage in 2019 and beyond, open enrollment will begin on November 1 and end on December 15 of the preceding year (for example, November 1, 2018 through December 15, 2018 for 2019 coverage)."

----------
These two caught my eye. We'll be back at 10k deductibles within a couple years at this pace.
— Insurance plans that don't meet the ACA's coverage requirements can remain in place through the end of 2017 — three months longer than previously permitted under the administration's transitional policy
— The 2017 maximum annual limitation on cost sharing will be $7,150 for individual coverage and $14,300 for family coverage.

And three more:
1. Surprise bills. Under the rule, beginning with 2018 plans, charges for services provided by an out-of-network ancillary provider in an in-network facility will go toward an enrollee's annual limitation on cost sharing. The purpose of this change is to limit surprise medical bills. However, there is an exception to the requirement if the issuer provides adequate notice to the enrollee that an out-of-network ancillary provider may be providing services and that the enrollee may incur additional costs.
"Our intent in establishing this policy beginning for the 2018 benefit year is to permit us to monitor ongoing efforts by issuers and providers to address the complex issue of surprise out-of-network cost sharing at in-network facilities," said CMS.
2. Network transparency. Beginning in 2017, CMS will implement a rating of each qualified health plan's network coverage. The rating will be available to consumers when shopping for coverage through HealthCare.gov.
6. Annual open enrollment period. For benefit year 2017, the open enrollment period for the individual marketplaces will begin Nov. 1, 2016, and run through Jan. 31, 2017. The enrollment period for the 2018 benefit year will correspond with 2017. Beginning with the 2019 benefit year, the signup period will be shortened to run from Nov. 1 through Dec. 15.
