What 20 what happened we of the of the coverage new Health Care Coverage has been focused on those without insurance. Even those who are currently covered by their employer could sign up on the new exchange that is available starting tuesday. There are certain things you need to know. We are breaking it down for you. Who should be paying attention to that october 1 launch date . Just for people who didnt have coverage, or for people who were unemployed or contractors. Not those with employer coverage, right . Wrong. Its true. Even those who have Health Benefits from their companies could benefit from logging onto the new health care marketplace. You would be able to compare what you can get on the exchange to what youre getting through your employer, and how much premium you will have to pay. I will definitely look at both and see which one is best, or cheaper. Health Insurance Experts warn it is very unlikely the new exchanges could top what your employer provides. You likely wont qualify for a subsidy to drive down those premiums. Annual income, family size and current coverage are all taken into account. The amount of tax credit you will get will depend on your income, family size, how your income relates to the federal Poverty Level, and the exchange itself. You must make less than four times the federal Poverty Level to qualify. That means less than 46,000 for a single person, and you must spend more than 9. 5 of your income on health care costs. The benefit to having Health Coverage through your employer is that you share the cost of health care with all the contributors. Health Insurance Experts say that is going to likely be the case for most with employer based coverage, but it is still smart to just log on and see what all is available, and that some of these plans will be aimed at those whose employer coverage is too expensive or lacking in benefits.
