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

 Here at Wenatchee Insurance Agency,  we have been talking about the Covid Bill for a while now.


 

One of the facebook videos is here. 

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/

Covid and Masks

A few people noticed the distinct lack of materials concerning masks and wearing them. This is a problem since Washington state businesses were required to  mask up July 7th . We just passed  3 million infected  will little signs of slowing down. Yes, this means if you are in public doing business and can not social distance then you need to have a mask on. These materials are designed to be shared and help out. We do not know if it is biological or environmental. It is impacting the  Latinx four times greater  than the white population.  Minorities in general are being impacted at a greater rate.   COVID 19 infects people of all ages.   If you don't die then it can have long term effects.  If you don't have a mask then feel free to stop by at Wenatchee Insurance Agency and we have cloth masks to share until we run out.

Cheap Health Insurance, Washington Healthplanfinder and Enrollment Centers

The Washington Healthplanfinder started the Full Service Enrollment Centers about six years ago. Some are run by small businesses (brokers) and some are run by corporations (navigators). When the Healthplanfinder put out the request, we seemed to be a good fit. There are some rules to operate an Enrollment Center.  1. Easy access to the public and open year round. 2. Enhanced Security and Insurance. 3. Experienced In person assisters.  4. Offer all plans regardless of pay.  5. No additional fees.  From our experience of working with insurance for nearly a decade.
