my brother is married but his wife is unemployed. we have a company(I am the half owner) and we are under the company's payroll and company is paying for our health insurance too. my question is, who would be paying for his wife's health insurance? is it the government because she's a bum(lol) or he has to pay for her insurance too because he is employeed? thx! also does it depend on the state or its...federal? |

A bum? I'm guessing you're not her favorite brother-in-law. Lol Your brother would have to pay for her insurance. He should get a family plan that would cover her as well. My company doesn't offer a good a health insurance plan as my wife's company so me and the kids are under her plan. She works for a pharmaceutical company. |
| SNAAKE:
so anyone married and unemployed can't apply for the "free" health insurance? whatever I had when I was a bum. basically almost everything was covered in new york(I had fidelis care) because I made under 20k/year or whatever. man...I(WE) are paying so much taxes. now there is another bill.. :angry: |
| jmike:
Just wait until they have kids... Uncle Snaake lol :cheers: |

Honestly wouldn't buy health care at this point. If the ACA is repealed, you'll see over 20 million lose health care, providers will be able to deny pre-existing conditions and premiums are estimated to rise by 50%. Not good all the way around unless a better plan is formulated. Florida is one of those states, where even with the ACA, premiums are way too high. I couldn't imagine what's going to happen to Floridians if the protections are removed. I'd say don't worry about your brothers bum wife getting healthcare, worry about yourself being able to get it. This is a very real probability that I hope people who hate the current system are aware of. I'm in a situation myself, where I get AWESOME coverage from my employer (Polaris Industries), so I have no worries about myself. My issue is with my son, who has Autism. He has asthma and just turned 18 a little over a week ago. Under the ACA I am allowed to keep him on my health insurance till he is 26. If it is repealed, I'll no longer have health care for him to get his expensive life saving medication. As a result of that, I'll be forced to apply for Medicaid for him.. So yeah, get that straight... as a result of repealing that "AWFUL" ACA, I will have to resort to using government assistance where I have NEVER had to do that before. Now who is that gonna cost? Me or the tax payers? Not that I am advocating the ACA, like I said before, Florida, among several other states, see ridiculous un-affordable premium prices, even with the "so called" affordable care act. Republicans are proposing turning medicare and medicaid into a voucher system... In other words, they wanna hand out vouchers people can use to buy health care... Try telling a child with Autism that after mom and dad have passed away, he'll need to apply for vouchers and buy health insurance in addition to all the other life events that we all take for granted that we need to do. And that he'll have to do it using the 47% reduction in SSI being proposed.. oh and buy food. So while I do somewhat sympathize with the snarky remarks about "free healthcare", that simply isn't the reality, and I sincerely hope people get exactly what they asked for in regards to tearing apart that system. It might just be the slap in the face wake up call needed to realize... were all in this together. |
