Document Summary

Texas is still doing worse than anywhere else. The states that are doing the best are states that chose to expand medicate. Some of those states are down to having uninsured only at 7. 5% When you look at the 6million uninsured in texas, that number is greater than 30 other us states. Rates have dropped in all races, but for hispanics they are still 24. 3% uninsured. For very low income people, we still have 40% uninsured in texas. The cost for an individual policy for a large firm was about ,000 a year. Plan sponsors must pay a 40% tax on the difference between ,200 (self-only coverage) or. ,500 (family overage) and the actual cost of any employer-sponsored insurance. Includes total cost of coverage (both employer and employee share of premium) Not in effect until 2018, but many employers starting to think about and prepare plan design changes now.
