Loading ...Dropped me on my head after 5 years, I never missed a payment. Went to the exchange yesterday and my (family’s) insurance rates are going up 10% with the cheapest policy available. No financial assistance for people like me, shake the NO finger at me. Too much in stocks and IRA’s. Interestingly, the same website that ask for every bit of financial information that’s ever existed in my life, doesn’t penalize people that are in real estate.
The open insurance exchange sure don’t ask questions like, “What is your home worth on Zillow today?” I mean this is an asset for sure, if they can see every dollar that’s in every account of mine, they should also know what your house is worth. So I have this friend and she’s a millionaire farmer’s daughter who was an architect co-worker of mine. She makes herself look poor enough on paper that she gets all kinds of subsidies for insurance, lives in a really nice house. My point is that my old co-worker has a half million dollar house in downtown and she gets free healthcare because of her family’s income bracket! All while she knows she’s set for life. It’s basically free money from the govy. Good accountants save money I guess
