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.
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?
