I won't get to see your program since I have to work my part time job so I can pay my copays and deductables on my healthcare insurance (Still paying for knee replacement 3 years ago). Hopefully you will have the highlights online. I have a question that I have not be able to get an answer from my HR department, new health insurance company (selected by my company) or my doctor offices. Since we now can get our insurance from any state in the union, my company has gone with a Blue Cross/Blue Shield out of state namly Alabama. Will these other Blue Cross/Blue Shield providers be accepted by all who accept the Highmark BCBS. The only answer I get is we have to wait till we get our new cards with our membership ID so we can check the web site. (Sort of sounds like "we have to pass the bill before we know what is in it" the goverment told us) With all the insurance companies that we can now chose from how much is this going to cost the medical providers in having to deal with all of these plans?
On Healthcare.gov, at what point and on what screen during the enrollment process do you actually see whether or not you receive either tax credit or subsidies on the premium?
