Does this sound right to you (re Obamacare)? [View all]
My gym-mate told me tonight that NJ Blue Cross/Blue Shield will not renew her policy past October, 2014.
She called the company and tried to find out what this meant. The customer service agent told her that b/c of Obamacare, it's federally mandated that all policies go up as much as $2,000,000 coverage and BC can't afford that kind of change for many of its customers. BC didn't know whether she could still get her policy but for 50 to 100 percent more for her premium or whether she would have to apply for Medicaid.
My friend was sincere but it just doesn't sound right to me.
What do you make of this?
