Corpus Christi Health Insurance Could
Face Legal Challenges
Corpus Christi health insurance will
see undergo significant changes
moving forward as the Internal
Revenue Service moves to expand
the Affordable Care Act Subsidies to
millions of American families.
This change to what has been dubbed
the "Family glitch" should affect 5
million people, and more than 500,000
individuals could end up leaving
employer coverage if they don't get
these subsidies included in their work
plans.
Detractors explained their disdain
for the decision, saying that the final
rule is illegal because the statute
defines an affordable plan as a self-
only plan rather than one that
includes family members.
"The final rule from the Internal Revenue
Service is meant to close the"family glitch,"
which prevents family members from
receiving Affordable Care Act subsidies if a
household member has access to employer-
sponsored coverage that meets the law's
requirements for affordability and coverage.
The law requires that employer-
sponsored plans be affordable
only for employees, not for family
members, although family
coverage may be unaffordable for
the entire household.
" Rick Thornton, a Corpus Christi health
insurance agent , said that while detractors
have a point to their argument and have a leg to
stand on when it comes to legal decisions, it is
difficult to ignore the fact that providing extra
subsidies for families is a huge benefit since
many families
According to the Kaiser Family
Foundation, an estimated 5.1
million people fall inside the "Family
glitch." Time will tell what happens
with this new ruling and the legal
challenges that result from it.
