I'm currious if anyone on this site has taken out or tried to get coverage.y have had ads on tv saying that people are getting coverage for less than $100 and in one case for $26/ month. THERE IS NO WAY!
I went on line but could only get so much info without signing up.

Isn't that amazing. :roll: You don't find out what you are buying before you buy it. Of course, they had to pass it to read what was in it. Liberals need to learn we all aren't that stupid.

Subsidy Calculator
Premium Assistance for Coverage in Exchanges

about this tool

This tool illustrates health insurance premiums and subsidies for people purchasing insurance on their own in new health insurance exchanges (or “Marketplaces”) created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/

lowest I could get was about $45 a month for a person with $16000 a year income. and about $2250 in out of pocket costs..

total annual insurance cost of about $3000 on them with the taxpayer picking up about $2500 in subsidies.. (tax credits)

anything under $16000 dumped it into Medicaid and the cost is all on US..


but that is not the only way the working/middle class gets screwed..



if I had to apply my insurance would be well over a$1000 a month and my out pf pocket would be $12,700 or about $25000 a year total.. with heath care costs mostly being paid for by myself.. this is not affordable in any way..

up front I would have a co-pay or cost share of 30% and a huge deductible.. few realize the cost share/co-pay dos NOT count towards the deductible.. or the cap..

not to over complicate it.. but

to get the $6000 deductible met would cost $7800

and the cap would cost $16510

so all in an average middle class person would pay about $30,000 a year or near half their pre-tax income..

in other words,.. like all federal help.. work is discouraged..

and hard work is penalized..

Sorry FH but I have to disagree with you on this. As you can find out what it is going to cost by putting a policy into your shopping cart and taking it to check out and when you find out the cost, you can leave it in the cart and WALK OUT. That is why Obama and Sebelius are claiming 5 million have signed up but will not tell you just how many of that 5 million have BOUGHT A POLICY. :wink:
It was said today that 20% of those policies that make it into the cart are LEFT THERE. Which means Obama has about 4 million that actually get paid out of the 7 million he claimed he needed for a SUCCESS and only 25% or 1 million of them are the young.

OK. I stand corrected. I was responding to cutterone when he posted:

I have not gone near the website myself...and I don't intend to....so far, anyway. We are old.......and remember, the Medicare changes won't affect us. Yeah, right.

If I were in need of insurance the last place I would go is to a Government site where you are to put all your private info in but it has no means to protect that info from being hacked. Especially when the Party that is responsible for the site just voted that they do not have to tell you that hackers have taken your info and are probably taking out credit cards in your name. The same party that proposed stronger rules on businesses like Target meant to protect customer info from being hacked and how they had to inform their customers it they are hacked. The Government of do as I say not as I do. :roll:
