Healthcare echange buyer here. It covers same things any private indurance would cover. You can make about 65k a year after all deductions. I take retirement deductions and some othe ones, and qualify for great subsidy. My emploer reimburses some, but when i file taxes i still get a refund for most of the premium. I buy silver plan, covers everything. |
Pp here. I meant you can make about 60k and still qualify for subsidy. If you r agjusted gross income is about 40k, your subsidy is huge. |
$2 is good. $1 per hr is not a thing anymore because of high inflation. |
If you’re single w/o children this doesn’t work at all. I make 72K /52 weeks. And family pays full premium. I can’t qualify for the health exchange as supposedly I make ‘too much $$—I barely safe any as rent and bills are expensive in Montgomery county. |
I also tried the healthcare exchange but not good coverage so my employer pays me full premium ($521 monthly), it works for some people but not for all. |
PP, so how do you get coverage? All health insurance now is mostly through healthcare.gov. They sell hundreds of plans, same BCBS, Aethna, KP as most people have through employment. |
Should be cost of living raise. Inflation was 7% this year. Give nanny 7% raise. If nanny had increased duties then give the nanny even higher raise. Food costs increased and did rent and so on... |
Raises based on cost of living increases which was 7% this year |
Raises should also be based on performance. Our nanny is going to have to start showing up and engaging with our kids a little more if she expects any raise. There have been too many sick days and too little initiative. We're debating whether to a) fire her; b) put up with her current unsatisfactory performance with no raise and hope she leaves. Only if she improves will we consider a generous raise at the end of her contract. |
