Cheap Health Insurance from American Rescue Plan Act (Covid Bill 2021)

Here at Suzie Health Solutions, we have been talking about the Covid Bill for a while now.

If you have listened to our Podcast: Suzilla or seen one of our videos on Facebook then you know that something major is going on with the cost of healthcare.

1. Right now, the Washington Healthplanfinder have set up a FAQ sheet about the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. There are some important things to note.

They are expecting to make the pricing changes by Mid May so talk to an enrollment center to see if they have taken effect.

Big cost savings to households for 2021 & 2022

If you want to peek at the tax credit shift then go here.

COBRA changes will only last until Sept 30.

This will lower the cost of insurance for 2021 and 2022. There is no legislation to extend it at this time.

2. The Department of Health & Human Resources estimate that 79,200 will now get credits in Washington state that didn't have them prior. Additionally, 10,100 will qualify for silver level plans at zero out of pocket cost.

3. If you haven't priced insurance or have questions then contact one of the enrollment centers. There are 11 spread throughout the state, are trained and do not charge for their services. We run the Enrollment Center in Wenatchee.

4. The big issue is getting the word out that people can get health insurance. We even created a video with Ricki Lake to promote enrollment to share: https://fb.watch/42fgy2whiR/
