Can I cancel my ObamaCare plan now?

Maybe it's all changing next week????

All these questions are stupid since the law has not changed. Until it does change everything remains the same as it was last year.

The law is valid until it is changed so penalties will still be incurred until the law is changed.
But Republicans could decide not to enforce the penalties, though you will not know that for sure until they actually do it, if they do.

IMO it is best not to second guess it all, and follow the law as it now is.

Sane advice!
Don't gamble with a guessing game folks!

It's starting to look like the Republicans will never get this done; or not this year anyway.

When the law changes. It hasn't yet.

Now it seems that the whole country WANTS to keep Obamacare?
What in the world is going on with this country?

Sometimes you realize you've got it pretty good when other options are shown.

People also forget that before the ACA premiums skyrocketed, deductibles were ridiculous and copays and lifetime caps made coverage useless.

Re: Can I cancel my ObamaCare plan now?

To be honest, it all seems really confusing to me right now.
I have no idea what is coming or what is not and how much any of it will cost!
And with certain pre-existing conditions it makes it all that much scarier.

Re: Can I cancel my ObamaCare plan now?

Considering even Congress has no clue, how should we?

A little clarity on pre-existing. (PEC) ANY condition you are diagnosed with when you are uninsured is a PEC. What that typically means is if you get insurance they won't cover that one ailment for 6-12 months, although it could be much longer.

Let's say you have BC/BS for a couple years. You get fired and lose your insurance. If you get new insurance within 60 days, you have no PEC bc that's not a gap in coverage. If you get a new dx during that 60 days then that condition is a PEC. If you have to wait 90 days, then everything you have is a PEC.
