Whats up with Obamacare?

Your options are insurance through your employer or the “marketplace” plans. Want anything else? Sorry. You have to wait for open enrollment.

■■■■■■■■■ They screened, but you could absolutely go with any provider willing to cover you. And again, I’m talking about purchasing your own, not the employer’s.

Oh., You’re talking about going outside the group insurance that was offered by your employer. Yes, you could do that any time you wanted to. However, it was not a cheaper option.

wiley8425 · 2018-10-08T01:12:08.391Z

How would you know?

Earlier the complaint was that your employer option was the only option.

wiley8425:

No. I didn’t care what my employer offered. My biggest gripe was that was the only option available, which is literally what I just said. Talk about missing the point.

Interesting c

Right because the quality of coverage doesn’t matter as long as coverage is offered, right? Again one size does not fit all.

dantes · 2018-10-08T01:16:44.121Z

Not sure what you mean. There are tons of plans with varying benefits and quality on the marketplace around here.

Earlier you were denying they existed at all so I guess this is progress.

wiley8425 · 2018-10-08T01:18:03.696Z

Of course you aren’t. You don’t know my situation or the coverage I was looking for. Coverage I was perfectly willing to pay for but was told I couldn’t have because of the rules. Try again.

dantes · 2018-10-08T01:20:06.162Z

What coverage were you looking for?

wiley8425 · 2018-10-08T01:20:39.269Z

None of your business. It doesn’t matter anyway. It wasn’t available. That’s the point.

dantes · 2018-10-08T01:22:53.862Z

Gotcha. Maybe next time don’t bring it up then. Just a suggestion.

wiley8425 · 2018-10-08T01:23:30.938Z

I can bring up whatever I want. You don’t get to dictate for me. Hate to break it you.

dantes · 2018-10-08T01:29:12.602Z

I didn’t dictate anything. That’s exactly why I said it was “just a suggestion”.

Here’s another suggestion. Read the entire post before replying.

wiley8425 · 2018-10-08T01:32:19.026Z

Here’s one for you: mind your own business and quit injecting yourself into everyone else’s.

dantes · 2018-10-08T01:39:20.345Z

Says the guy bringing up his own business in the thread.

You guys crack me up.

wiley8425:

I was looking to purchase insurance through another provider that wasn’t subsidized. Even the marketplace plans aren’t subsidized if you have insurance offered through your employer. Again, you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

You could have bought health insurance between jobs. You can refuse to take your employers health insurance and buy on the marketplace. You repeatedly said you couldnt. Now you’re changing your argument - moving the goalposts.

wiley8425:

Not according to the several companies I called. Again, I didn’t want the “marketplace” plans either. Try again.

Thats funny. Who are these companies? Because both you and these companies really failed

ImRightYoureWrong · 2018-10-08T02:54:03.255Z

dantes:

The marketplace was an option then but you just “didn’t want it”?

I think you might have gotten bad advice from the companies you talked to or there is something you aren’t telling us.

He probably thinks the market place is “government” plans

Then dont quit your job, get cobra, dont take a job with ■■■■■■ plans, or buy a marketplace plan for 6 months before the next enrollment, man up and take some responsibility.

wiley8425 · 2018-10-08T03:52:24.657Z

I tried. Your side decided I couldn’t. Not sure why it was any of your business what I was willing to pay for.

It’s basically like the retarded argument your side makes that the subsidies made insurance more affordable. Affordable to me means the cost is low enough I can pay for it on my own, not other people are forced to pay the portion I can’t.

Janet_Miller · 2018-10-08T05:21:47.673Z

Mine neither & I’ve worked for public sector agencies & private industry.

There’s one time of year, or Open Enrollment, to select benefits. Any changes allowed after are to add or remove a dependent following events like birth, finalized adoption, divorce, adult child gets own insurance or death of a dependent.

Any plan we didn’t like we were stuck with until the next Open Enrollment.
