As enrollment began Saturday for the second year of the program, people on Obamacare plans began getting letters from their insurance companies explaining rate changes.
OBAMACARE 2.0: Rural Nebraskans will see the biggest increases in premiums in the second year of Obamacare.
“Our phones are starting to light up,” said Douglas, who owns Pioneer Interstate Insurance. “Most (rates) are doubling.”
He also got a letter from his insurance company informing him his premium will double next year, from $594 to $1,204 per month, if he qualifies for a $260 monthly federal tax credit again.
He’s 50 years old and has a healthy family of six, with four children under the age of 16. He’s not sure he’ll qualify for the tax credit this year, in which case he’d pay $1,464 per month — or $17,568 per year — with a $2,000 deductible. His premium and deductible would chew up almost 20 percent of his household income.
