Because I am self insured, I have only been able to get coverage from my state's high risk pool since my mg dx a few years ago.

Two weeks ago, the High Risk Pool notified me the State is ending all coverage effective 12/31/2013 at midnight since the Affordable Care Act will take effect Jan. 1, 2014.

So most, but not all folks, may be able to keep their insurance...my circumstance takes me out of the 'most' group!

There are 14 states that refused to set up state exchanges...so folks in those states have to go on the federally administered plan. Many of those same 14 states also refused federal funds to expand Medicare in their states -- so that will leave many folks that fall below the minimum income level for a federal subsidy uninsured.
