Medicare Advantage Plan Costs Rising For 2015 Due To Obamacare

Nearly 16 million Americans on Medicare Advantage (MA) plans will pay more for their health insurance in 2015 as a result of Obamacare.

Federal subsidies for MA coverage are being displaced to pay for the Affordable Care Act, resulting $160 billion worth of cuts by 2022, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

“Right before we left on a trip our 2015 book came to our house and it said ‘changes,’” said Janet Trimble, a Medicare Advantage enrollee.“I always hate when I see the word ‘changes.’”

The 2015 changes impact those over 65 with MAs who will either be paying higher premiums or paying premiums for the first time.

2015 Medicare Advantage Plans are available to ninty one percent of people enrolled in Medicare in the state of Maryland. There will be none availble in Dorchester, Somerset, Worcester or Wicomico Counties. Todays Options will terminate December 31, 2014 in these counties.

Just when you mind isn't as alert as it was when you were younger you NOW have to wade through books that should be classified as college text. When will the insanity end. Think I will take my book over to MAC and have them help decipher the mountain of information. I have no idea what 12:o43 is saying but I appreciate the heads up.
