EDITED: I edited this to reflect the fact that I found out that the insurance in question was our car insurance, NOT our home-owner's insurance.
Our vehicle insurance bill came a week or so ago and it had gone up $250. WTF!?!?!? Today, K got a call from the insurer's rep. The rep wanted to know if K had health insurance. He said he did, from work. Then the rep said that our car insurance had gone up the $250 because the insurer added the amount to compensate for the possibility of us not having health insurance. So, because we DID have health coverage, our bill will drop $250, as it wasn't needed.
Here are my questions about all of this: Does this have anything to do with Obamacare? Are other insurers going to be charging us a higher premium if we don't have our own health insurance--for example, homeowner's insurance? Or is this something new that just was put into effect? I guess these questions will be answered when K goes in to the company to have a sit-down with the rep, but I thought I would put this out there for my readers to discuss. I am really confused and would like to know what is going on.

As if life ain't complicated enough.
ReplyDeleteK just tried for insurance quotes online and they all ask the same question about health care. I wonder if this is state-specific?
ReplyDeleteWait till they ask about pre-existing conditions.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm sure that's coming, too. :(
