Anyone experiencing revised health care plans by your employer due to the so called Cadillac tax provision in Obamacare? We've just received our 2016 benefit plans which per my company is to avoid the excess taxes due in the coming years.
We have 3 options and none of them are very attractive. The changes are quite dramatic with huge out of pocket expenses for anything outside of preventive care. It doesn't seem to start paying until the deductible or maximum out of pocket expenses are covered. Which for a family plan are $4,500(per person) and $9,000(total) respectively...
I also wonder how these new plans workout with covering injury in motorcycle accidents... Emergency room visit is $3,500 - $2,000 depending on the plan, who normally covers the emergency transport to the hospital?
It seems that the theme is that if you don't need anything outside of preventative care it'll be cheaper. However, if you do its going to cost an arm and a leg.
We have an online presentation coming up where we can ask questions. Anyone else have similar experiences or concerns with changes in their coverage? Supposedly these new regulations are supposed to only effect a small percentage of "affluent" individuals :rolleyes I haven't yet talked to anyone who is seeing changes like this.
