BTW, this whole sham is Bogus and needs to be rejected.
I don't take benefits from AA. As I stated earlier we are on my wife's plan.
Who is their provider? I don't even know, I threw out the pamphlet they mailed before open enrollment.
But, reading thru the language, what the company would do is pick a plan out of the list that whomever their provider is offers and implement it. It would be one that is designed to meet the ACA tax cap but provides as near of coverage as can be had based on our former plan. Essentially, they want to keep their plans from being subjected to the 40% tax, that's all.
It doesn't mean they'll get rid of coverage and force us all into the open marketplace to purchase our own insurance. Although, if the marketplace expands like it's designed to do that may not be a bad idea in the coming years.
This all assumes the ACA will still be law come 2016...
