Don't know if this got answered yet. ( haven't read all the BBs yet) But one of the first things that was covered by the ACA is existing conditions. - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 17:08 21
- Yes, the question is whether or not such a policy would be available to buy between Marketplace enrollment periods. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 17:22 20
  - If it's the law I assume so. - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 17:25 19
    - There are a lot of sites that suggest that it simply won't be possible, without a qualifying event. -- (link) - mara Sep 24, 17:42 16
      - Or, they will at inflated prices. The law only says that pre-existing conditions have to be covered. It doesn't say that it has to be affordable to - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 17:44 5
        
        The aca says it has to be affordable, thats like the entire purpose. No more than 9.5% of w2 wages ( your premiums) no matter where you get the insura - Truman Sep 24, 18:57 2
        
        Read below. That's info that I haven't rad until today. - the liioulu with Sep 24, 18:59 1
        
        Since my firm has a seperate business that is an i insurance broker, i have lots of stuff i can read about the aca - Truman Sep 24, 19:05
        
        "This also means an insurance company can’t charge you more if you have a preexisting condition." -- (link) - mara Sep 24, 18:17 1
        
        I haven't read that 'til now. Like I said that's not what I've read before. - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 18:24
      - Another one, for future reference (mine, I mean). -- (link) - mara Sep 24, 17:44 9
        
        Also for my future reference, Cigna says: - mara Sep 24, 18:46 3
        
        Basically, living in Illinois I haven't heard much actual info about the marketplace. - the liioulu with Sep 24, 18:55 2
        
        Me, neither, living in Indiana, but I have internet access, so I don't really need the state to tell me anything. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 18:57 1
        
        Well the aren't all the same, despite being a federal law. -- nm - the liioulu with insects Sep 24, 19:06
        
        healthcare.gov clearly states you can buy a policy outside of the Marketplace, but doesn't say you'll be able to between enrollment periods. -- (link) - mara Sep 24, 17:46 4
        
        My understanding is that youcan buy a policy from a state Marketplace anytime the "first" Time. Then the enrollment is a yearly time when you can - Truman Sep 24, 19:01
        
        The marketplace is primarily for the policies that offer lower costs based on incomes. - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 17:51 2
        
        That's not actually the way it's usually presented. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 18:08 1
        
        That's what that link seems to say. - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 18:13
    - The main reason is that some people want to wait until they're actually sick or injured before buying a policy. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 17:37 1
      - If they wait until they're injured they're stuck with the bills because they won't be covered. - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 17:48

Not sure I want to know exactly how *adding* surface area to a french fry results in *less* fat and calories... -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 15:55 7
- less surface area per volume therefore less oil per volume of fries. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 16:25 1
  - They say they're using a new kind of batter that doesn't soak up as much oil. - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 16:45

    - It's the same for everyone, and Florida is using healthcare.gov instead of setting up their own. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 16:06 11
      - Not quite... -- (link) - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 16:19 8
        
        That article doesn't address the open enrollment period, and confirms that Florida is using healthcare.gov instead of setting up their own. - mara Sep 24, 16:24 1

        Sorry, was conflating that with the first post's positition that there'd be more info by MArch. -- nm - the liioulu with dark circles Sep 24, 16:30 2
