A Brand New World
(1,119 posts)I am retiring at the end of the year and have access to insurance through my pension. But I am considering signing up through ACA since the premium is half of what I would pay through the pension. I get almost a $800 premium reduction for a silver plan. One question is do you pay the full amount & then get reimbursed when you file taxes or do you just pay the lower amount automatically each month?
Do you think I would be taking on an undue risk by turning down the insurance from the pension and relying on the ACA considering the fact that the republicans and trump are still actively trying to dismantle the ACA?
If I do sign up through the ACA, is the amount set in stone once you sign up or can it be raised at some point in the year?
Thanks in advance for any input.

(7,178 posts)Heres Where To Get Help Choosing Obamacare Plans
Its confusing this year and you dont have a lot of time. But help is out there.
Here are some of the resources and people you can consult:
HealthCare.gov And Its State-run Marketplace Counterparts
You probably know about HealthCare.gov and CuidadoDeSalud.gov ― the one-stop-shopping, federally run websites that, in 38 states, individuals use to find health insurance policies and enroll in them. The exceptions are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. They have their own websites, as does the District of Columbia.
These sites will let you know quickly whether you are eligible for tax credits that could discount your premiums by hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and in some cases wipe out premiums altogether. They will also let you know all about the policies you can buy with those tax credits ― providing information not just on premiums, but also on out-of-pocket expenses, doctor and hospital networks, and formularies for prescription drugs. (Formularies are lists of drugs that insurance companies will or wont cover, along with whatever co-payments youll need to pay to get them.)
In the past, information about networks and formularies hasnt always been totally accurate or up to date. Thats a big deal. You dont want to get a policy thinking it will pay for visits with a longtime doctor or cover a prescription you use regularly, only to discover too late that it wont. If theres a provider or drug of particular importance to you, double-check with insurers, providers and drugstores to confirm any information from the websites.
The websites also have glossaries to explain key concepts, such as the difference between a deductible and an out-of-pocket maximum. If you need more help ― or if you just prefer to deal with a person rather than a website ― the sites all have call centers with trained professionals who can answer questions and sign you up directly.
The number for HealthCare.gov is 1-800-318-2596. In the 12 states plus the District of Columbia that dont use HealthCare.gov, the phone numbers for their call centers are on their state websites.
