easytax Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 From a discussion on ACA and what MIGHT happen to --- ease - things ... Here is the URL for the MSN article where it is mentioned -- http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/4-ways-tuesday%e2%80%99s-election-could-hit-you-in-the-wallet/ar-BBc7fis?ocid=U147DHP Maybe we should "look at" getting insurance licenses too? (along with the proper E&O and mal-practice insurance --- because when enrolling, there will be questions on what policy, coverage differences, etc... --- and I for one DO NOT want to "hang myself" because someone says --- well they did not explain it properly, etc. --- which is a BIG insurance requirement) //// based on knowledge of PA, MD and NJ insurance requirements, law, etc. "People who are getting subsidies go in and out of the work force, and it's therefore really hard for them to predict what they're income really is," Gleckman explains. "It would be nice if we could figure out an easier way." One simple proposal that has received support in both parties is to move the Obamacare open enrollment, which currently takes place from November to February, closer to tax season in April. That way tax preparation firms could help people file their taxes and apply for enrollment simultaneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jklcpa Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 For anyone that asks for help, I send the individual or business owner to one of the insurance agencies in my area that specialize in only health insurance. The particular agent that I usually recommend has helped me personally over the years with my mother's medigap and drug policy choices as her situation and health has changed, and also when my husband needed short term coverage before a new employer's insurance became available due to the waiting period because of the job change. I don't give insurance advice, and I won't be in the future either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd Hudson Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 i have and have had an insurance license as a life and health producer for many years. I DO Not sell health insurance because I do not understand it. No more than I understand all the tax ramifications of ACA. I too have a health insurance specialist I send inquiring minds to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
