California Disable are finding out right now that Their Medical Coverage is no longer
Provided by the State and starting in February The Burden to Pay the Premiums has been passed down to the
Recipients.. I received my Notice today without any Explanation..
As of January 1st 2018...
Starting this next month I will have to pay $402 and then monthly Payments of
$134 a month.. Part B will no longer be covered by the State Of California..
This hit a Huge Hit for those who have very limited incomes by no fault of there Own..
Who else is going to be effected in this Negative way from the Trump's removal of the Obama Care Mandate??
Sure puts most of the Burden on the Disabled so far... I suspect any Tax Breaks for Americans will be sucked right up by Huge
Rises in the costs of Rising Medical Coverage Costs in the very near Future...
I sure would like to hear from Folks as this has Rocked my World.. To pay my Bill?
I will have to go Hungry to keep up. I already live so Cheap its almost Cruel.. Live in Fear of Loosing everything I
have worked so hard to keep.. Especially my Home...

(841 posts)When Obama Care came into effect in California. My income went up just over $100+ a month
as the State would cover the rest of the Costs for my coverage.. This was huge for somebody on a Low Fixed Income of S.S..
Its been in place now for a couple of years.. In other words I pay less so it seems I got a raise then..
Today the Premium Costs are on Me with No Benefit or Break..
So I am Totally Disable and now have to Pay for my Medical Coverage without any Help..
I will have to Pay over $1,900+ for the Year out of that small Fixed S.S. Income from now on..
I received this Letter today from S.S. that just tells me what will happen starting on my next months check
without a explanation.... I expect Millions of Folks are effect today as they receive their Checks for this Month..

(841 posts)All I know is there is nothing I could find on this change..
I just received my Letter from S.S. this Morning with this Horrific News..
It reduces my Income by over $130+ a month..
I will receive a short check next month as they will take over $390 up front..
Then continue for the Year with $134 a month deduction from my Check each month for the year..
All this with No Notice other than this Letter I received today..
I do believe there are a lot of Folks surprised as me today as they open their Mail...
This will cause so much hardship for so many....
