ObamaCare Anxieties: Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop
If you were looking for a break from the anxieties and worries surrounding ObamaCare, you’re not in luck.
If you like your current healthcare plans and the price you currently pay for it, you’re not in luck either.
Ahead of the 2014 rollout, one thing is clear: no one really seems to know how ObamaCare is going to affect employers, employees, individuals and families across the country.
And frankly, we’re tired of it. And we aren’t the only ones.
Employers from across the country are struggling to prepare for the law’s effects – and it’s beginning to take a toll.
“My crystal ball is so foggy, I can’t answer questions from clients asking what they should be doing about their health insurance when the Affordable Care Act takes effect,” concedes Bill Robinson, owner of Palm Canyon Insurance Agency for 31 years. Robinson, the legislative chairman for the Desert Cities Association for Health Underwriters, has spent years in Sacramento working on health insurance industry issues. “I have never been in a situation where impending changes in the law prevent me from guiding my clients,” he says.
ObamaCare is going to affect each and every person differently depending on their personal and professional situations – but one thing is for sure, everyone will experience some sort of rate shock, and the worrying is only going to continue.
