366. In my case, they don't offer the same plan anymore.

Thu Nov 13, 2014, 05:45 PM

Nov 2014

Also, only Silver plans have the reduced cost-sharing for the poor.

So my premium is going up from $82.94 to ... well, damn, it said something very different last time. Maybe they adjusted the rates. Last time it said a BCBS silver policy that had the same coverage as mine was $144.

Now it's saying it'll only go up to $92. I can deal with that. Generic drugs and PCP copay are up, but at least the specialist copay is still $50, and that's who I have to see most often (my psychiatrist)

Maybe they had a glitch that generated the extremely high rates, and maybe I typed my income in wrong or something the last time. Naybe if it was a glitch then the notification from Humana for the OP might have been from a glitch too. But I knew it said to get an equivalent plan was going to cost me nearly double.

Or maybe the insurers proposed rates that were issued and then there was an outcry and they changed them. BCBS plans are still the cheapest ones in my state.

you paid this much IF you received any financial assistance VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #293

Take a close look at the letter jberryhill Nov 2014 #270

It's a SHE and it most certainly DOES include the subsidy! Glitterati Nov 2014 #274

So, you went to the link noted in the letter and updated the APTC data? jberryhill Nov 2014 #295

The subsidy is based on the premium of the second cheapest Silver plan Yo_Mama Nov 2014 #517

I have read it...and have read one of my own..... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #313

No. It is calulated by taking what you currently pay Ms. Toad Nov 2014 #566

Yes, it does and clearly states it. The unsubsidized premium is the $577.67, the box below is the TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #407

It's an invalid calculation jberryhill Nov 2014 #467

Are you debating the arithmetic, the 2015 rate or the 2014 credit amount? If it is none of those TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #573

Yes, it is misleading jberryhill Nov 2014 #587

Then try reading the letter in your hand jberryhill Nov 2014 #275

The unsubsidized premium is almost $600. Where the poster is off (though much closer than you) is TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #421

no, that is incorrect jberryhill Nov 2014 #463

I'm not trying to be a dick but I don't get how that changes the facts of the costs. TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #513

okay, let's put it this way jberryhill Nov 2014 #534

No, that does not follow logically. Are you debating the 2015 premium, the 2014 credit, or the math? TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #574

The 2015 premium as stated in the letter jberryhill Nov 2014 #589

Those rates are already loaded, Humana knows what they are charging. TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #638
