Bidenomic... top of the chart for screwing the American people.  

Thanks to those who voted for uncle Joe and the corrupted dems.  

Bắt đầu vào ngày 1/1/2024 Medical bảo hiểm sức khỏe của California sẽ có những thay đổi lớn. 

Những người có lợi tức trên mức qui định, sẽ không được bảo hiểm tiểu bang trả giúp phần phụ trội nếu nhận Medicare. 

Thay vào đó cư dân nào của California bất kể tình trạng di trú hợp pháp hay không hợp pháp cũng đều nhận được bảo hiểm sức khỏe toàn phần của tiểu bang kể cả răng, mắt và tâm thần. 

Quy định cho độc thân  là $20,124 và gia đình 4 người là $41,400. 

Những người trên 65 tuổi có lợi tức hơn số tiền trên sẽ bị Medical trả lại cho Medicare và sẽ phải đóng tiền phụ phí cho Medicare. Điều này sẽ ảnh hưởng khá nặng cho những bạn già có lương hưu trên $20,124.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2024, most U.S. residents enrolled in Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) or a Medicare Advantage plan must pay a standard Part B monthly premium of $174.70, an increase of $9.80 (or 5.9%) from 2023. The Part B annual deductible is also rising by $14 (or 6.2%) to $240.

Medicare beneficiaries whose income exceeds a certain amount must also pay a surcharge on their Part B premium known as an income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA) ranging from $69.90 to $419.30—up from $65.90 to $395.60 in 2023. About 8% of Medicare beneficiaries are affected by IRMAA surcharges.

The annual income threshold at which the monthly adjustment kicks in is also increasing. Each year the Social Security Administration (SSA) uses data from two-year-old tax returns to assess whether a person must pay an IRMAA. For 2024, beneficiaries must pay an extra amount if their 2022 modified gross adjusted income reached $103,000 (or $206,000 if they file their taxes jointly with a spouse). The income threshold in 2023 sat at $97,000 (or $194,000 for those filing jointly). As with the Part B annual deductible, 2024’s IRMAA thresholds represent a rise of 6.2%.

Although Medicaid is a federal-state program, states cannot use federal funds to pay for full-scope Medicaid for non-citizens without what the state calls “satisfactory” immigration status. California, however, has been using state funds to phase in full-scope Medi-Cal for undocumented immigrants who meet its income and other requirements. 

Coverage was expanded to children lacking permanent legal status through age 18 in 2016, to young adults 19 through 25 in 2020 and to adults 50 and older on May 1, 2022. As of August, about 670,000 people gained full coverage thanks to those three expansions combined, according to the California Legislative Analyst’s office.

Starting Jan. 1, adults between 26 and 49 will also qualify regardless of their immigration status, which could cover an estimated 700,000 more people.

Before they could get full Medi-Cal coverage, undocumented immigrants could get restricted-scope Medi-Cal, which is generally limited to emergency and pregnancy services. 

Other states have expanded full Medicaid coverage to certain undocumented groups, but California will be the first to extend it to all, said Jennifer Tolbert, director of state health reform with KFF, a nonprofit organization focused on health care.

As of May, the department estimated that the age 26-49 expansion would cost the state $1.2 billion in 2023-24, nearly double the previous cost estimate of $635 million. “In the first full year of the expansion, we estimate costs to the general fund to be nearly $3 billion,” said Ryan Miller, the LAO’s principal fiscal and policy analyst. Reasons for the increase include new data showing that utilization and costs for prior expansions were higher than previously assumed, Miller added.
