Supposedly preexisting conditions won't be held against anyone.
Supposedly dependants can remain on their parents' policy until age 26 ... even if you have a job
You're going to pay a lot ... and more than likely get a little.
We have an individual policy that is NOT under Obamacare so they tell me YET. BCBS of LA. If we make certain changes to our policy then we fall under Obamacare.
I asked the BCBS rep what benefits would change if we were under Obamacare. Well, I would have gestational diabetes coverage (not more kids from us), IF I were to have a 4th child I would lactation counseling for free (yeah I got that in the hospital with child #2 and #3 prior to d/c)I would have testing and counseling for STDs (um happily married dont' need this either) AND I could get a FREE COLONSCOPY!! Oh joy ...
SO after hearing these wonderful things I asked well what's the drawback. Her words to me were "you're gonna have to pay more, more than likely". Pay more for shite I don't need???? No way.
Your future employers may not offer you coverage ... you will be at the mercy of the national plan or whatever the hell they come up with if they've even read the bill yet.
I'm pissed. We pay dearly for our policy ...

From the perspective of an employee? Private health insurance premiums will continue to rise for another year or two. The degree to which you are affected largely depends on your employers willingness to share the burden. The government option will be made available in 14' as I remember it. In principle this would create competition in which the consumer(you) is the ultimate benefactor. We'll see how that plays out. As a new entry to the workforce, you'll have not experienced the lower cost insurance of years ago so the point may be moot.
From a taxation standpoint, the consensus is that taxes will rise by some degree for all and to a larger degree for some high earners.
In a nutshell, that about covers it.
