Affordable Healthcare Act - Happy Happy Joy Joy - Salaam Monsieur O.

[Aya Sophia]

Blue Cross has notified me that the plan I chose (back when I was living in a free country) will end Dec 31st and, if I take no action, I will be automatically enrolled in a new plan compliant with the Afforadable Healthcare Act.  My monthly premium will go from $214 to $533.47.

 

So, the question is, AFFORDABLE FOR WHOM?   Certainly not moi.

$214 is a lot of cabbage.  A lot of sexy cabbage.

I'm doing some serious whining here.  Show some respect.

Have you looked into the subsidies?

I suppose I'm fortunate then, my insurance raised my rates 30%.

Have you looked into the subsidies?

 

I've researched them online (found a handy calculator at http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/ to confirm one's qualification) but it seems the only way actually to apply for the subsidy is via the "Marketplace" at the currently unuseable website.  Or, anyone know of another way?
