NC Obamacare:Insurance premium increases shock Charlotte consumers

 

Across North Carolina, thousands of people have been shocked in recent weeks to find out their health insurance plans will be canceled at the end of the year – and premiums for comparable coverage could increase sharply.

One of them is George Schwab of Charlotte, who pays $228 a month for his family’s $10,000 deductible plan from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.

In a Sept. 23 letter, Blue Cross notified him that his current plan doesn’t meet benefit requirements outlined in the Affordable Care Act and suggested a comparable plan for $1,208 a month – $980 more than he now pays.

“I’m 62 and retired,” Schwab said. “This creates a tremendous financial burden for our family.

  1. As you heard many times out of the mouth of the king, you will be able to keep your current insurance. Well, I can keep my Blue Shield/Cross policy until next year then it is no longer going to offered. BS/BC suggest before the end of next year to check out the exchanges where they will offer insurance. Thank goodnss they are not raising the rates on me.
