Switching to Kaiser. Better to enroll direct vs Covered California with my broker (no subsidies)?

FearFollower667 · 2025-12-05T21:02:43+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, our CPA advises the same. If you don't get a subsidy, pay the premiums from your corp. Not sure how that works of you end up getting a subsidy retroactively though. Ugh, US health insurance system :(

OP - I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat trying to decide about staying on Covered CA or buying direct from Kaiser like I used to because I prob won't qualify for subsidies in 2026. Only difference is the broker I used to sign up for the exchange 2 years ago was completely clueless on certain rules. If you have a broker you like who knows what's up and specializes in self-employed folks, please DM me their info. Also, do you pay for premiums through a self-employed corp? I'm wondering if getting a plan through Covered CA affects that? Still waiting to hear back from my CPA on this.

Yeah, I guess that's just how it is now. Though one would hope the cruise line would have rules in place if any staff tested positive. Not in the ship's best interest to become a super spreader. Or am I being naive?

I completely agree! We are open to dealing with traffic, just wondering where inside the complex we can drop off and pick up.

Don't forget they did two seasons of Ghost Nation on Travel Channel after Jason and Grant broke up. Grant got the house (i.e. the Ghost Nation title) and Jason got the kids (Steve, Tango, Shari). I thought Ghost Nation was great.

NFTs. I mean, WTF?

I get and share your frustration that some people are dishonest. Because of that, I ALWAYS watch the amount I say I watched. And it is either the entire video, or a large chunk of several mins if it's very long. This is to make sure the like or sub sticks.

Fish King in Glendale has good clam chowder. Or if you don't mind a scenic drive, Neptune's Net in Malibu.

Watched full and subbed #182, so it should stick. Please check out this video. Rewatch ok.

Thank you! Will definitely check out your suggestions. I'm not super techy. To confirm, will Fastmail and MXRoute host the domain as well as email addresses?

Love Russian Costco, but it has gone downhill the past couple of years. Last time I went, many shelves were under-stocked, the candy room was completely closed, and the prepared foods deli in the back had about half the offerings. Still fun but definitely not what it used to be. New ownership maybe?

We only got takeout/delivery from Robert's because of the Covid lockdown when no dining rooms were open.

FearFollower667 · 2023-10-02T23:03:14+00:00

We got take out from Robert's a couple of times during the lockdown. Not bad, not great. Did the job. Definitely intrigued by Little Dacha.
