i submitted my application for health insurance last week and they said that there is a 2-4 week wait. well my insurance enrollment at work ends october 31. is there a chance that i might hear from them sooner?
if you get insurance at work you are likely better off sticking with that plan and not buying one through the marketplace. you won't qualify for a tax credit if your employer's plan is considered affordable under the law. affordable employer health insurance costs no more than 9. 5% of your income and covers at least 60% of covered medical costs. and employer plans are usually a better deal; you're not taxed on the benefits and often employer coverage is richer.
