Good news! Obamacare premiums availalble to easily view

Under O'bummercare, gold plated plans will be taxed at up to 40% of the premium cost.  That is what unions have been bitching about.  I haven't been able to find out what constitutes a "gold plated" plan but, apparently unions have them.

Gold pressed latinum.

So you get taxed if your insurance costs too much?

Found this;

Under the law, an employer or health insurer offering a plan that costs more than $10,200 for an individual and $27,500 for a family would typically pay a 40 percent excise tax on the amount exceeding the threshold.

Yep we penalize those who are successful and reward those who fail, and especially those who won't even bother to try. In our society being a leech is more honorable than working your ass off and taking care of yourself.

And that information is available on a W2 form starting last year is it not?   I seem to remember the employer contribution being mentioned before.  


ETA:  Why yes, yes it will for further information see:

Those friendly folk at the IRS.  Yes, those same wonderful folk who often offer botched tax preparation information and say "sorry, we goofed."
  

Yes, last year employers were required to put the cost of COBRA eligible plans, the full cost as a line item on your W2.  This includes any plan the company paid a portion or all of, such as medical, dental, and EAP.  Of course, it was specifically for informational purposes.     In all of the research I have been able to attain, I can get premium info for these plans, but now plan design- deductibles, copays, etc...NONE!

Can you get that information directly from the insurance co.?

Do you know which one's are participating in your state?

One of the NY papers (NYPost I think) has an article stating no NY exchanges cover out-of-network doctors.  I'm guessing other states have the same rule.

I read recently that doctors and other providers are being pressured to join networks with no idea what the reimbursement rates will be.

If you have to ask comrade, you will be sent to camp.

According to Leftist doctrine,they'll take it or they'll see their license revoked. I'm sure the DUmmies will be pushing that soon enough.
