It was just astronomical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Affordable Care Act made it possible for working families to secure coverage and that’s huge. That’s the kind of burden that’s lifted off your soul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: Do you think having a President Joe Biden and a Vice President Kamala Harris in the White House will lead to an improved Affordable Care Act?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a candidate for president, Joe Biden said that he would build on the success of the Obama-Biden presidency and make sure that we continue to increase the number of Americans who have access to affordable health care.

If you’ve lost your job and have no income, most likely you will qualify for free or low-cost coverage through Medi-Cal, the state’s insurance program for low-income Californians. If you lost hours at work and are earning less money, you may qualify for a subsidy to help you pay for a new plan; if you already have a plan through Covered California, you will likely qualify for additional financial aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you didn’t have insurance when you were employed, you can still buy a new plan now.

If you miss a monthly payment, your insurer will continue to pay your health care bills. If you miss a second or third payment, your insurer can stop paying claims, but can’t cancel your coverage. You have three months to catch up on your payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Coronavirus Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If I get the coronavirus, will I be facing a big medical bill?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCalifornia regulators now require insurers to cover the complete cost of testing for the virus, so no copays for consumers. On the other hand, experts estimate the cost of a hospital stay for coronavirus is about $20,000. If you’re insured, out-of-pocket costs are an estimated $1,300. But if you have a high-deductible plan, which a lot of people do, you may be required to pay the maximum annual out-of-pocket cost, which is $6,000 in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Levitt points out, that’s better than having no insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re hearing stories out of Italy, of hospitals needing to ration care,” Levitt said. “We’re not hearing stories of people getting enormous hospital bills in the mail and we are going to see those stories here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is this outbreak going to bankrupt the health insurance industry?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nHealth insurance companies are very concerned about the costs they are facing in this pandemic, says Peter Lee. They are required to spend 80% of their revenues on patient care, so they’re operating on slim profit margins. Companies may be able to offset some of the costs of coronavirus treatment because they won’t have to pay for many elective surgeries that have been canceled.

KQED politics correspondent Marisa Lagos spoke with de Waal, a professor of psychology at Emory University and the author of “Mama’s Last Hug.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11736464/health-care-and-college-scam-fixes-housing-and-traffic-woes-mamas-last-hug","authors":["236"],"programs":["news_7052"],"categories":["news_18540","news_457","news_6266","news_6188","news_8","news_13","news_356","news_1397"],"tags":["news_2409","news_1386","news_25264","news_23289","news_1775","news_20297","news_19177","news_21899","news_17604","news_20481","news_163"],"featImg":"news_11736647","label":"news_7052"},"news_11726603":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11726603","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11726603","score":null,"sort":[1550281544000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"national-emergency-and-state-of-the-state-congresswoman-anna-eshoo-zucked","title":"National Emergency and State of the State, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, “Zucked”","publishDate":1550281544,"format":"video","headTitle":"KQED Newsroom | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":7052,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cb>National Emergency and State of the State\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Citing “an invasion of our country,” President Trump declared a national emergency today to circumvent Congress and obtain additional funds to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/GavinNewsom/videos/349455942557314/\">rolled out a package of health care proposals and policies\u003c/a> a few hours after his inauguration, including an \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/1.7.19-EO-N-01-19-1.pdf\">executive order\u003c/a> to create a new California surgeon general, and another that would consolidate the state's prescription drug negotiating power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, state health care programs like Medi-Cal for low-income Californians, CalPERS for retirees and the prison system all negotiate drug prices separately. Gov. Newsom's order directs state agencies to bargain together, and opens the door for private employers to join them, creating what Newsom's office calls the \"biggest single-purchaser system for drugs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new governor also wants to expand subsidies to help people buy medical coverage through Covered California — the Affordable Care Act marketplace — by both increasing the amount of financial assistance given to current eligible families and expanding access to middle-income families. Under the proposal, individuals who earn $72,000 a year, and a family of four that earns $150,000 could qualify for subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also wants to give undocumented young adults the ability to stay on Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program, longer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California already covers undocumented children through Medi-Cal until they turn 19. Newsom's proposal would extend that to age 26, which is a compromise with health advocates who wanted coverage for all undocumented adults. Because the Affordable Care Act prohibits the use of federal funds to cover people in the country illegally, the entire cost of the Medi-Cal expansion would be shouldered by the state — one reason former Gov. Jerry Brown declined to allocate money for this during his tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The expansion of Medi-Cal and the marketplace subsidy changes will all be part of Newsom's first state budget, set to be unveiled Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Newsom said he would pay for the expansions in part by restoring the individual mandate — the requirement that all adults carry health insurance — something Congressional Republicans eliminated with the passage of their tax bill in late 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every person should have access to quality, affordable health care,\" Newsom said in his inaugural address. \"Far-away judges and politicians may turn back our progress. But we will never waver in our pursuit of guaranteed health care for all Californians. We will use both our market power and our moral power to demand fairer prices for prescription drugs. We will stop stigmatizing mental health and start supporting it. And we will always protect a woman's right to choose.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health care advocates cheered Newsom's proposals as steps in the right direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our health system is stronger when everyone is included.

Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/GavinNewsom/videos/349455942557314/\">rolled out a package of health care proposals and policies\u003c/a> a few hours after his inauguration, including an \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/1.7.19-EO-N-01-19-1.pdf\">executive order\u003c/a> to create a new California surgeon general, and another that would consolidate the state's prescription drug negotiating power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, state health care programs like Medi-Cal for low-income Californians, CalPERS for retirees and the prison system all negotiate drug prices separately. Gov. Newsom's order directs state agencies to bargain together, and opens the door for private employers to join them, creating what Newsom's office calls the \"biggest single-purchaser system for drugs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new governor also wants to expand subsidies to help people buy medical coverage through Covered California — the Affordable Care Act marketplace — by both increasing the amount of financial assistance given to current eligible families and expanding access to middle-income families. Under the proposal, individuals who earn $72,000 a year, and a family of four that earns $150,000 could qualify for subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also wants to give undocumented young adults the ability to stay on Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program, longer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California already covers undocumented children through Medi-Cal until they turn 19. Newsom's proposal would extend that to age 26, which is a compromise with health advocates who wanted coverage for all undocumented adults. Because the Affordable Care Act prohibits the use of federal funds to cover people in the country illegally, the entire cost of the Medi-Cal expansion would be shouldered by the state — one reason former Gov. Jerry Brown declined to allocate money for this during his tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The expansion of Medi-Cal and the marketplace subsidy changes will all be part of Newsom's first state budget, set to be unveiled Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Newsom said he would pay for the expansions in part by restoring the individual mandate — the requirement that all adults carry health insurance — something Congressional Republicans eliminated with the passage of their tax bill in late 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every person should have access to quality, affordable health care,\" Newsom said in his inaugural address. \"Far-away judges and politicians may turn back our progress. But we will never waver in our pursuit of guaranteed health care for all Californians. We will use both our market power and our moral power to demand fairer prices for prescription drugs. We will stop stigmatizing mental health and start supporting it. And we will always protect a woman's right to choose.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health care advocates cheered Newsom's proposals as steps in the right direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our health system is stronger when everyone is included. These steps outlined today would put California on an aspirational and achievable path to universal coverage,\" said Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Last year, voters supported Governor Newsom in a health care election, and were clamoring not just to protect their care, but for the real, tangible steps to improve access and affordability to care.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11716531/newsoms-first-act-as-governor-expanding-health-coverage","authors":["3239","3205"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_1758","news_457","news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_2409","news_5164","news_16","news_683","news_3890"],"featImg":"news_11716568","label":"news_72"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
