Congratulate Me! Got my best insurance plan ever, starting January. [View all]

First:

Already had Medicare Parts A & B.

Had no RX coverage for years, couldn't afford any.

Really committed to a set of doctors, providers, etc. Did not want to change.

Now:

I get to see all my doctors, no additional premium.

Get very low cost RX benefits, no premium.

Will get services that only Medicaid covers, which I am not eligible to get. Some of these were ones that I really needed.

There are no deductibles for almost anything.

The co-payment for my providers is $15, which is less than the amount that Medicare was not paying.

Am stuck, however with a small monthly penalty for not having prescription coverage for some years.

That penalty is no matter compared to what I'm getting. I am so relieved.

And because of the ACA, there are no limits nor are there any conditions that can be denied.

I found the people that worked on seeing that I got the right policy to be honest and concerned about my costs, and they made sure that all my questions were answered.




Obamacare In Action.
