I Do Not Think That Word Means What You Think It Means

I got a letter in the last week from our health insurance company.  Yes, we are some of those weirdos who have paid privately for health coverage.  We didn't have a job with coverage, so we bought our own.  It's called "responsibility".  But that is another blog post.

I got a letter that informs me that our coverage will shift beginning on January 1st, but that because of the Affordable Care Act, we have a new choice available.  We can keep our current policy as it is.  Or we can add the ACA benefits to our policy.

Those benefits, you ask?  Our individual deductible can remain the same ($7500 as it is now)  or drop to $6000 in the new year, as well as a prescription deduction drop (from $1000) to $350.  In all the essentials, those are the only changes.

And since this Act is "Affordable" our premium each month will go from a $327 to $701.  Boy, I'm so grateful this act was AFFORABLE!  I guess I should just be glad the policy was canceled and then uncanceled for another year.


And luckily for me, this is a moot point, as Genius Golfer's new job will offer health care insurance.  Though not at the rock bottom price we have been paying.

This whole national uproar is INCONCEIVABLE. It's like getting in to a battle of wits with a  Sicilian.
