What will my health care coverage cost me?

"Over $50 a week" is incredibly cheap for insurance through an employer. By the mid to late 2000's, the total cost of insurance through work was already over $100 a week. Your employer must have been paying over half of the cost for you, so that you could have insurance very cheaply, for less than half of what it really cost.

Under the Affordable Care Act, coverage from your employer will continue to cost whatever your employer decides to have you pay for it. If your employer wants to pay the whole cost and have it be free to you, then it won't cost you anything. If your employer decides to have it cost you the same as it did before the Affordable Care Act, then that is what will happen. If your employer decides to stop paying for any of it, and make you pay the whole cost, then your cost will be a lot more. And if your employer decides to stop providing health insurance and make everyone get their own, then that's what will happen. It's entirely up to your employer.

The one thing that is drastically different is what happens if you go to get your own insurance instead of getting it from your employer. On the one hand, you won't be denied insurance completely because of preexisting conditions, so you'll definitely be able to get insurance. On the other hand, it won't be cheap. You'll probably have to pay a lot more than you're paying now.

The affordable care act, is a law that says have insurance, or pay a fine. It also says, if the cost of your health insurance for you, is more than 9.5% of your GROSS income (that's $49.32, for health ONLY, for you ONLY, doesn't count vision or dental), then you can buy a policy through the federal exchange or your state exchange, and get a subsidy.

If that $50 a week includes your wife - you're making too much money, says the government. It's only YOUR cost that counts.

I can tell you, without a subsidy, there's no way in hell you're going to get an exchange policy for less than $200 a month - and it's going to have higher deductibles, no dental, and no vision. So you tell me . . . will it be cheaper?

If your payments for insurance for you and your dependents are higher than 8.5% of your income, you can try to qualify for a subsidy and obtain something much less as a payment. If your payments are below, you have to stay with your employer's insurance.
