We want to ER in 2014. We have company paid cadillac insurance now.
Based on other large changes in law (the new deal, etc.), how much do you think we can depend on things staying the same if the current healthcare plan is implemented in 2014?
I am maybe not being clear enough. What I am asking is, based on past history in the USA, how likely is it that major changes would happen to the AHA after 2014 if it is implemented then exactly as it is now planned?
I would guess that once it goes into effect, it is pretty much irreversable, much like medicare and social security are now. Changes to those programs seem to happen in relatively small doses once they are implemented.
I don't want to ER in 2014, depend on things like ability to access insurance with a pre-existing condtion, then have the game changed on me in 2017 when I have not been working for 3 years and will have a much harder time getting a job. They seem to try not to do this with SS...when they raise the age limit, they do it in steps and don't do it to people already on SS. Is it likely the same thing would happen with the AHA?
It would totally bite to be paying $900 a month for a high deductable plan in 2014, then have the law abandoned in 2017 and find we cannot get any insurance, get sick in 2018 and have 25 years of savings wiped out.
Maybe I just worry too much.
