SANTA CRUZ -- Chuck Griffen, a commercial real estate agent in Aptos, said he was stunned to hear how much his health insurance would cost next year.

He is looking at paying $1,150 a month, $13,800 a year, for a no-frills "bronze" plan with out-of-pocket expenses of $12,000 covering himself, his wife and his son, a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

"Half my income could go toward health care," he said. "Anyone making over $60,000 is screwed. You're penalizing middle-class people. I think there will be a huge outrage."

Twice since the Affordable Care Act became law, Griffen changed his health insurance to keep it affordable.

Eighteen months ago, he paid $512 a month for a HealthNet policy with prescription coverage, two office visits and a $6,000 deductible for himself, his wife, his son and his daughter.

When HealthNet's price jumped to $630 a month, Griffen switched to Blue Shield, raised the deductible to $9,600, and his daughter, who got a job after college graduation, left the policy, bringing his cost back to $512 a month. That policy will no longer be available as of Jan. 1.

Pamela Fugitt-Hetrick, who owns DCD Financial and Insurance Services in Santa Cruz, is facing a 70 percent rate increase for herself and her daughter for what she considers an inferior plan.

"There's nothing affordable about the Affordable Care Act," said Betty Lindstrom of Felton, a health insurance agent since 1975 and the owner of her own agency since 1995. "Folks are calling saying, 'My rates are going to double.' "

High deductible plans, such as the one Griffen has, have been popular but under the Affordable Care Act, the deductible is capped at $6,000.

Let's see "half his income could go to health care" so $13,800 is half his income???? I'd change jobs in CA if I was him.

The cheap premium prices are going to lure them in and the out of pocket costs are going to be a disaster.

How many houses does a real estate agent sell, in this market?

You don't understand how commission works, do you TSR?

Being paid for the amount of work you are able to accomplish/produce is something that is foreign to you, because you feel everybody should be paid the same...correct?

How the reception on that obamaphone?

It involves math, don't expect to much from them or TSR

It is 25,800 for total out of pocket plus premium.

I'm sure that is a really good price. Why are you focusing on the guys income TSR and not the obsurd cost of health care?

actually the correct math is..
$13,800 for no frill policy
and $12,000 in deductibles, co-pay ect out of pocket expenses..

for 25,800 in health care costs. for an income of $51,600
by his next comment you can see that number is after taxes.. and his income is over $60,000 before taxes,.. which is why he is screwed..
