there was just some one on here who said the ACA would raise their premium gopiscrap Oct 2013 #1

Not impossible B2G Oct 2013 #2

I think what may be happening is that existing policies are raising their premiums djean111 Oct 2013 #5

This is happening for sure. At least in cases near me. nm rhett o rick Oct 2013 #6

But they do have to offer more coverage... kentuck Oct 2013 #9

Yes. And it will overall. B2G Oct 2013 #13

But they have to spend 80% on benefits per the new ACA law... kentuck Oct 2013 #16

One thing I am unclear on... B2G Oct 2013 #18

No. They have to spend 80% of total premiums collected from all insured kestrel91316 Oct 2013 #24

Most major employers are compliant with the new rules B2G Oct 2013 #26

ACA defines minimum requirements for employer plans. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #27

So you feed the meme because their employer shafted them BEFORE ACA? That's bullshit, too. DevonRex Oct 2013 #32

That is all immaterial to the inaccurate statement of the OP. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #36

Yep. kentuck Oct 2013 #33
