I still have health insurance!
The health insurance law has passed, which means I don't have to go out an get a horrible job to pay for health insurance.
Re: I still have health insurance!
You must be younger than 26, correct?
I wonder what this means for me. If I don't get hired for a teaching job I will be buying my own insurance plan. Will that be cheaper now? I hope so!
Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
well, the mandate part doesn't go into effect until 2014. So you still have a while.
Both H and I are under 26. I was really concerned because I just had an MRI on Monday for a compressed disk in my back.
I thought you had to be a dependent of the insured (ie. like an adult child) to be covered by the up to 26 coverage? I wouldn't think a married couple could still be considered a dependent of their parents?
Nope. That is pretty good explanation, Michelle. I'm not sure if I could have done it better. As long as my parents are still supporting me, which they are, they can keep me under their health insurance until I am 26.
I did hear that one of the stipulations is that you don't have the tax if the only policy you can buy is more than 8% of your monthly income. Which to me, seems like that would be the case for a lot of working people right now.
