HHS case. Here he explains why the commerce clause does not apply to ObamaCare’s individual mandate, noting that it violates fundamental principles in the US Constitution and centuries of precedent case law. He claims that the individual mandate is “the single most unconstitutional piece of statute language in our history,” because allowing the government to regulate economic inactivity would allow for federal intervention in virtually every kind of market imaginable.

    YOU need to obtain it from your prior insurer.

    No. The cost of your own health insurance can only be deducted on either (a) the medical and dental expense line of Schedule A, or (b) the self-employed health insurance deduction line of Form 1040. Health insurance can be expensed to a company only if it is the health insurance for someone else.

    If you are married, there is an unethical, but technically legal, way to get group health insurance by hiring your spouse as an employee, so that you have two employees (including yourself and your spouse). If you do that, you can get group insurance and expense your spouse's health insurance to the company. However, you still cannot expense your own health insurance to the company.

    You need a trusted adviser to help you through the process of purchasing health insurance so that you understand what you are purchasing. Some may suggest going on line to get a quote but you probably already know that there is much more to health insurance than price. Some might even suggest a discount plan which is not insurance at all.

    Ultimately, you are the one who determines the affordability of your health insurance plan by deciding how much you will participate in sharing the cost of your health care with your insurance company.

    If you choose a plan that covers everything i.e. doctors office visits, prescription drugs, preventative health benefits, maternity coverage as well as low deductibles and low copays your monthly premiums will be significant.

    On the other hand if you are reasonably healthy and use the health care system infrequently you could consider a plan that covers only the major health catastrophe which will result in a relatively low monthly premium. You then can use the monthly premium savings to pay for the occasional doctor visit and still come out ahead.

    You might also consider a temporary health insurance policy if you anticipate getting another job with benefits.

    Check with the agent that writes your home or auto insurance he/she can provide you a health insurance proposal that takes into account your budget and health situation. They can answer questions as to what is and is not covered by the policy, explain deductibles and copays and show you the hospitals and doctors that participate in the network.

    Use the Internet to educate yourself but use an agent to purchase the coverage.

    Is this an S-corp or a C-corp?

    If it's an S-corp, the premiums are included in the wages on the W-2, but then excluded as an adjustment on the front of the 1040. It wouldn't make a difference on collecting EIC.

    Edit, as 100% owner of the S-corp, he *can't* deduct it any other way. The IRS will figure this out on an audit and then BOTH of you will owe the excess refund back.

    See page 15, column 1 and column 2 of the 1120s instructions. Specifically the part about insurance being included in box 1 of W-2 and deducted on line 29 of the 1040.

    http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1120s.pdf

    And no, it doesn't come out the same for EIC.
    Claiming $30K in wages vs claiming $33K in wages and subtracting $3000 in premiums is a difference of $2447 in EIC vs. $1816. The excess $631 is illegal.

    Since you've already identified the issue–that the bogus calculation makes you eligible for EIC when it shouldn't, don't sign.

    My husband is a retired Marine, so we use Tricare for our insurance. We pay only $115 every quarter, so we are very fortunate to have insurance for such a low cost. This price includes all family members, including kids until they're 21, or 23 if they're a student full time. The only problem I've had and many people have gone through the same thing is that they've switched formularies several times on some medication I take, forcing me to switch to another brand or I would have had to pay a much higher co-pay. And one time I had to have a procedure done and they made me go to a military base to have it done instead of going to a regular doctor out in town. If you're within so many miles of a base and need something done, they will probably make you go to the base. We lived farther away than the maximum miles, but I still had to go to the base.. It wasn't no big deal, but I would have liked to have stayed with a local doctor. We previously used Aetna with my husband's former employer because my employer didn't take Tricare (a doctor's office) and our co-pays were written off since we were employees. I never had any problems with Aetna.

    Most definitely. My mom had breast cancer and she was told that she would be un-insurable for at least ten years. You will definitely be denied if you apply for an individual policy. If you are not denied, an exclusion rider will be attached to the cancer you had and no treatment related to that condition will be covered. You probably will be approved under a group policy but you will be subject to a period of at least six months that anything related to that cancer will not be covered. Group would probably be the best way to go. If group is not an option, you can apply to the Texas High Risk Pool. I've only helped one client apply here and she was approved. This insurance is provided through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas.
    Good luck! I hope your cancer is in remission. Don't let it get the best of you. Cancer SUCKS.

    Unfortunately, affordable for someone 54 isn't likely. Well, I guess affordable is a relative term.

    It depends on your geographic location. I assume that you're in CA. If so, your best bet is to apply for coverage through a group (in CA a group is 2 or more people). If you don't have a group, create one with a friend or colleague. If I'm not mistaken, groups cannot be denied coverage. The insurance companies don't have to make the coverage cheap but they have to provide it. Best of luck!
