Default National Risk Pool Health Insurance Rates Posted Online

Just took a look at the rates for Texas. Looks like a family of 4 uninsurables could end up around $1300/month with a $10K in ded and the co-ins for max out of pocket $24k. Doesn't say anything about family rates, so I'm guessing you can only apply individually. Sounds like a solid deal....if you have cancer. Oh I used to sell the plans in Texas and they were then individual.

What happened to the Affordability of the recently passed HC act? Oh this is govt run and is not affordable, oh boy we are just starting to see the tip of the HC cost going up through the roof.


Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan: Texas

PCIP will cover a broad range of health benefits, including primary and specialty care, hospital care, and prescription drugs. All covered benefits are available for you, beginning on your coverage effective date, even if it’s to treat a pre-existing condition - there are no waiting periods.
The monthly premiums for your state are:
Age 00-34 35-44 45-54 55+
$323 $387 $495 $688

In addition to your monthly premium, you will pay other costs. Covered in-network services are subject to a $2,500 annual deductible (except for preventive services) before the plan starts to pay benefits. Once you’ve met the deductible, you will pay a $25 copayment for doctor visits, $4 to $30 for most drugs at a retail pharmacy for the first two prescriptions and 50% of the cost of the prescriptions after that. If you use mail order, you will pay $10 for generic drugs or $75 for brand drugs on the plan formulary for a 90 day supply. You will pay 20% of the cost of any other covered benefits received from a network provider. Your out-of-pocket costs cannot be more than $5,950 per year. However, your out-of-pocket costs may be higher if you go outside the plan’s network. See below for a benefits summary.

Do you know that Texas already had this program inforce, it goes back atleast to President Clinton, I know I had been helping people to get into the Texas Health Risk Pool since I have been an agent. Who paid for the costs when someone used the benefits, well us Texas Tax Payers did, so you are just not informed on what Texas had. We would take care of the sick and unsurable and now Texas has decided to let the Feds take care of it, oh the Feds raised the prices quite a bit in our State.

The HC bill is not about affordable health care coverage for all, and in this case for sure not affordable

No problem. If people don't have money to buy health insurance they have to crap out the dollars to pay a fine. Does is make sense now?

None at all, other than generating revenue to fund the .gov stupidity machine - which is the underlying goal of course.

Forced coverage is not reform, it's just another tax with a cute name.

I got an idea … let’s cut the taxes of the top 2% and I’m sure they would be more than happy to help their fellow Americans in need.

It worked just wonderful back in 2008 when we bailed out the Fat Cats!
