WHAT SHE WANTS FROM REFORM

Occasionally in the coming weeks and months,borse chanel prezzi,polo femme, The Agenda will introduce you to small-business owners who are wrestling with how to provide health insurance to their employees. Over time, we hope to delve into all aspects of a crucial decision not just managing the costs but sorting out benefit packages, weighing alternatives,polo femme, and dealing with insurers and brokers. Along the way, we hope to get a better understanding of how the 2010 health-care legislation will, or won’t,ralph lauren, affect small businesses.

Today we meet Ann Gish,ralph lauren pas cher, who designs high-end bed linens from offices in Manhattan. As we proceed with this series, we’d like to hear from you. What questions would you like us to ask of the business owners we profile? Do you have an interesting health insurance story to tell? Please .

THE OWNER Ann Gish,ralph lauren outlet, 63.

THE COMPANY designs and distributes luxury bed and table linens and pillows, which are sold at Bergdorf Goodman, NeimanMarcus.com and boutiques nationwide. In 2011, the company in Manhattan. Excluding Ms. Gish and her husband,polo ralph lauren pas cher, Ann Gish Inc. employs 10 people in the United States.

WHAT THE COMPANY PAYS The company bears the entire premium cost for its workforce,ralph lauren pas cher,polo ralph lauren pas cher,polo ralph lauren, $472 a month per employee. It?provides individual coverage only, but Ms. Gish said that most of her employees are either unmarried or have spouses who get insurance through their jobs. One sales manager,chanel,ralph lauren GOLF - On Par Blog - NYTimes.com,polo homme polo ralph lauren pas cher Revealed How Twitter, however,polo ralph lauren polo homme Matter’s vision for long-form, has a self-employed husband with a pre-existing condition and a child. Ms. Gish pays the employee’s premiums, and the employee pays the insurance for the rest of her family an additional $1,300 a month. “She used her agent, we used our agent, and this was the best we could do,” Ms. Gish said. “If she could find a better deal, we’d give her the $500.” Ms. Gish said she is giving serious thought to reducing the share of employee premiums that her company pays: “I want to see what happens business-wise over the next year, and I want to see what happens when the health care reform kicks in.”

THE PLAN Ann Gish offers preferred provider organization coverage,polo,borse gucci prezzi Why Is It So Hard to Find Good, a form of managed care that favors doctors and hospitals that are in-network. One aspect of the plan that galls Ms. Gish is that doctors must seek permission from the insurer before prescribing some treatments. However, Ms. Gish said, the plan is “non-gated,” meaning that employees don’t need permission from their primary doctor to see a specialist.

THE INSURER Currently,polo femme,louis vuitton borse, it’s Aetna; before that,gucci, it was Oxford. “We’ve changed either every year or every two years,ralph lauren pas cher,” Ms. Gish said, “because they take away the policy that you have,polo lacoste,polo femme, and they give you a new one that’s more money and generally fewer benefits.” In recent years, premiums have bounced around, Ms. Gish said: $422 in 2009, $479 in 2010,polo Thomson Reuters, back down to $443 last year,House Vote Northern Whites, and now back up again. Meanwhile, she said, this year employees face slightly higher co-payments and much steeper deductibles.

THE HEADACHE Pounding and relentless. Even simple tasks, she said, like adding or removing employees from the rolls,polo homme, are complicated: “My husband, who does all of the C.F.O. stuff, has spent hours and hours and hours on this. And I spend a couple days a year on it. And I’m not stupid. I’ve started a successful business.”

WHAT DIFFERENCE THE OVERHAUL HAS MADE SO FAR None. She looked into the available to small businesses under the law but found that the average wages her company pays exceed the law’s $50,000 threshold for the credit.

WHAT SHE WANTS FROM REFORM Simplification. Health insurance, Ms. Gish said,borse gucci prezzi, “should be put together in a way that any idiot could understand.” Though Ms. Gish has occasionally read press accounts of how the Affordable Care Act will change insurance, she concedes that she still does not know what to expect. “I figure when 2014? comes, I’ll have to learn it,” she said. “But since I feel pretty powerless about doing anything, and since it could all change before then, what’s the point in trying to sink your teeth into it now?”

Do you have any thoughts on Ms. Gish’s situation? What percentage of employee premiums does your company pay?
