No bill presented yet to make the change, so don't count on it, so you might want to let all of your friends (that you referred to your broker) know that this type of Plan is not an Obama-care approved Plan and comes with a penalty/tax 11 months from now.
BTW your Broker should have advised you of this at the beginning.
yeah, it's Feb 1
when did the new Congress convene ?
btw - it would have made zero difference to me to know that I might have to change plans again in 2014
I wouldn't have chosen to continue paying more in 2013 just because I might have to switch again in 2014
btw - the plan I left was a group plan, PP0 with an HSA and a 3500 deductible so that plan might not conform in 2014 either
All I did was increase my deductible by 1k while lowering my monthly premium by 262 a month (65% reduction)
Even If I have to pay a penalty (highly unlikely since it's at my discretion) I'd still probably be saving money compared to my old plan
Thanks for your concern. It's not usually my policy to worry about stuff that's a year away and will likely never even happen
