The money was deposited in a 401(a) account if we opted out of their plan. unfortunately for me, I “neglected” to realize that I had to opt out every year (even though my situation didn’t change) and I was involuntarily enrolled in their plan. so now I’m enrolled in TWO cadillac plans. (and no more 401(a).
I’m SO glad that the government is here to help me…

(incentive not to move to a warmer climate). I suspect this insurance will eventually be deemed to be a “Cadillac” plan.
Most of the people I work with are also military retirees, so we did not have to avail ourselves of the company’s health insurance through AETNA (also a “cadillac” plan).
We were paid an hourly Health and Wellness stipend to make up for not using their plan.
As of 1 January 2014, we were no longer allowed to receive this stipend because of this provision in the ACA.
Therefore Obamacare has cut my yearly take home pay by approximately $7,000 (none of us has had a raise in five years either)
