Re: "Affordable" Care Act LOL
We have two options as I see it. One is to keep our existiong plan at 644.00 per month which is double what I paid last year. The other options is I stay on my plan for 94.00 per month and Barb gets her own policy through a broker for 477.00 per month. The only problem with the broker route is premiums are paid after tax and with my employer they come out before tax. Any savings through the broker would be negated. The only way we can afford this increase is to scale down my 401K input now at 5% and change my deductions on taxes also dropping my dental would help. Its sad when you have to forego saving for the future for the now. My whole purpose with this thread was to get a feel for where you all are at financially not politically. If I offended anyone with my initial comment regarding our present leadership in Washington I am sorry. It is what it is and for now we have to live with it. I just pray that Barb has every opportunity to do just that LIVE.
