Court Ruling on Obamacare Subsidies

Obamacare is facing yet another obstacle. Courts recently ruled against Obamacare subsidies for Federal Exchange insureds. This ruling may impact over 8 million people. This article breaks down the recent ruling on Obamacare. Find out more in the article below...

President Barack Obama’s healthcare overhaul suffered a potentially crippling blow as a U.S. appeals court ruled the government can’t give financial assistance to anyone buying coverage on the insurance marketplace run by federal authorities. The decision, if it withstands appeals, may deprive more than half the people who signed up for Obamacare the tax credits they need to buy a health plan. The way Congress wrote the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act makes clear that the subsidy is available only to consumers who bought plans on state-run exchanges, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington ruled today.

Insurance For Every Stage Of Your Life

When is the right time to buy life insurance? What age is appropriate for obtaining a disability insurance policy? Some people think that they are way too young for such policies, but they would be wrong. This piece from Business Insider gives some excellent tips on which insurance policies you should get at certain ages.

Renter's insurance (when you rent your own place). Renter's insurance, while not a baseline requirement like health or auto insurance, is something any renter will be glad to have in the case of a fire, leak, or storm. While policies differ, they're generally low cost (think $30 a month) and cover costs including the replacement of your personal property as well as a temporary living situation should you be unable to occupy your rented home. Note that, if needed, you can usually add coverage to this policy for an engagement ring.

How Much Should Health Insurance Cost?

You should have as much health insurance as you can reasonably afford. That's a clear and simple enough rule. Unfortunately, nothing else about health insurance is either clear or simple. Your choices are more complex than ever. Rising costs and the efforts to control them are affecting your options almost daily. On top of that, employees are being asked to pay for a bigger portion of their companies' health insurance premiums, and insurers are trying to steer you to doctors and hospitals who have agreed to hold down costs. — Kiplinger

12 Insurance Myths to Avoid

There's nothing worse than assuming you've put everything in place to protect your assets only to discover you were misguided. In the case of insurance sometimes we look to those closest to us for advice. Over the years we collect bits and pieces of information, some valid and some flawed.

"When people shop for insurance, a lot of times they're looking for the best deal," says Ron Reitz, an independent insurance adjuster and president of Quality Claims Management in San Diego. We asked some insurance veterans about the bad advice they've heard over the years. Here's what makes them cringe.

Senate's Health Plan to Improve VA Care

Thanks to the recent media blitz of falsified wait times in VA hospitals, big changes are in store for the healthcare of U.S. veterans. An aggressive proposal was passed by the Senate to solidify the improvement of U.S. military veterans. The first three years of the plan will cost the federal government about 35.5 billion initially. This article highlights the Senate's health plan and gives details on the potential improvements.

A preliminary analysis of the plan to let veterans seek care from non-VA providers shows it may ultimately cost about $50 billion a year, according to the Congressional Budget Office, Congress’s nonpartisan scorekeeper. Some of those costs would be offset by savings to Medicare, CBO said yesterday. “The cost of war does not end when the last shots are fired and the last missiles are launched,” Senate Veterans Affairs Chairman Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, said on the chamber floor. “The cost of war continues until the last veteran receives the care and benefits that he or she is entitled to and has earned."

Group Health 101

Many employees depend on group health plans provided by their employer. A growing amount of employees have group coverage but are not quite sure what it entails. Here are a few background points about group health from our online Insurance Resource Center. A group health insurance policy is insurance coverage applied by the employer with an insurance company. The employer usually pays a part of the premium of the group medical insurance policy. A group health insurance policy gives an employer the advantage of not paying the whole premium for the insurance policy in order to cover his employees.  

Shinseki Officially Resigns as Secretary of VA

Shinseki officially submitted his resignation to the President last Friday afternoon. The former Secretary of VA Affairs, stated that he may have been too trusting of the reports submitted to his office in regards to patients' wait time. Shinseki hopes that his resignation will divert public attention back to the most important matter at hand, improving the medical care of our veterans. This article shares more about Shinseki's resignation and his meeting with the President.

President Barack Obama said Friday that he decided to accept Eric Shinseki's resignation after previously supporting his Veterans Affairs secretary because of Shinseki's "belief that he would be a distraction from" making the needed fixes to the troubled VA medical system. Obama said problems with VA reporting systems "did not surface to the level" where Shinseki or the White House were aware of them. Obama said there was "a need for a change in culture" at veterans hospitals "and perhaps the VA as a whole" to make sure that problems and "bad news" don't get covered up, but get reported and fixed.

Rascal Flatts Gives More Than Music

The Rascal Flatts crew are famous for their catchy tunes but recently it was their generosity that took center stage. This article highlights the humanitarian efforts of the group and their desire to help sick children receive the care they needed. They frequent the Vanderbuilt Children's Hospital to  put on impromptu concerts for the children and their families but ultimately they give much more than music. Learn more about the giving hearts of Rascal Flatts...

The band members—Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney—are humble about their efforts, but the truth is that they have raised more than $3 million for this hospital. They’ve given so much, in fact, that the surgery center at Vanderbilt Children’s is now called the “Rascal Flatts Surgery Center.” Zoey Jones has had 11 surgeries at the center. The eleventh is actually taking place today, as I write this article. She suffered a setback since we've last seen her: she's had three strokes--one of them major--that have kept her in critical condition. Her mom, Tori, told us that without the care Zoey's received at Vanderbilt, "she wouldn't be alive. There's no way. If she didn't have it, she'd be dead." Tori and her husband, Blake, had the chance to thank the band in person after their performance.

Massachusetts' Public Health Reform

A recent study by the Harvard School of Public Health reported a significant decline in the number of deaths in Massachusetts, after the implementation  of Massachusetts' health reform policies. This study sheds light on the highly debated topic of public health reform and whether expanding the reach of health insurance can preserve lives. Learn more about the published medical study...

In the first four years after Massachusetts instituted comprehensive health reform in 2006, mortality in the state decreased by 2.9% compared with similar populations in states that didn't expand health coverage, according to a new study led by Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers. They estimated that Massachusetts' health reform law, which provided near-universal coverage, has prevented approximately 320 deaths per year - one life saved for each 830 people gaining insurance.

Which Term of Health Insurance is Best For Me?

Choosing the right health insurance is important. Health insurance can determine the quality of life experienced by you and your family. The task of identifying which insurance is best for your current stage in life is crucial. So don't put it off another day. Let our insurance experts help guide you through the process.  

Short-term or Long-term, which one to buy? If you are not able to decide on the term of health insurance, you need to have a clear picture of the benefits of both in order to decide on tenure. A short-term health insurance policy is right for those who are currently living in the U.S., waiting for another plan or between jobs. It is also suitable for those without any sort of medical health coverage, and students who have just graduated. The tenure of cover of a short-term health insurance policy ranges from one month to a year.

Does Medicare Pay Doctors Less?

This article breaks down the true cost of Medicare and exactly where those dollars are being spent. For years it was believed that doctors pocketed big bucks from the inflated costs of Medicare but this article challenges that belief. Read more to learn the behind the scenes details of health insurance.

Medicare has the bad rap of being a big, bloated government program, but it's not because it's overpaying doctors. CNNMoney analyzed the "allowed charges" for five common procedures, using data provided the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Truven Health Analytics, a research firm. The differences can be stark. Private insurers allow an average of $1,226 for low-back disc surgery, while Medicare will only permit $654, for instance. And the gap can grow wider depending on where the patient is. In New York, insurers allow $1,352 for a gall bladder removal, compared to $580 for Medicare. Some services are more comparable. For office visits by established patients, for instance, Medicare will allow 92% of what insurers do. Overall, Medicare's allowed charges are roughly 80% of the charges allowed by private insurers - about the same as they have been since 1999.
