Affordable Health Care Pla (Obamacare)

[Roadhawg]

I have a question and this isn't a political thing so please don't make it one.

I'm talking with a co-worker and he said that under Obamacare if I leave my job and go to another company I won't be able to use their insurance but will be put in a pool with other folks. I don't think this is the case but wanted to check it out. I don't plan on going anywhere but the subject came up.

Sure there is. You answer his question factually without adding your personal .02.

@Roadhawg that doesn't sound right to me. We've hired several folks recently and I'm certain they're given the same benefits I currently have.

That could possibly be true if you moved to a new company that had no coverage. Then you would maybe be picked up by an exchange. But that's not a sure thing by any means and it certainly isn't demanded.

Thanks... I was pretty sure you could get the new employers insurance, if they offered it but my co-worked insisted that under Obamacare you had to join a pool. He didn't think it was funny when I asked him if that was like joining a gym lol
