The family of four in North Texas would pay just $26 a month for the lowest-cost bronze plan after tax credits.

Tax credits huh? I was also reading that the minimum plan is pretty cheap...however, for a little better plan, a little more coverage, your cost can go from a few hundred to a few thousand just for upgrading to the next level of coverageOriginally posted by Tx Redneck View PostOriginally posted by Sean88gtOriginally posted by Baron Von Crowder -

Well, what do you know about that. This is one of my racing friends.
Ross Carmichael, vice president of compliance and operations for Fort Worth-based Higginbotham, said the employers and insurance agents his company works with are eager to see specific plans and prices rather than averages. Higginbotham bills itself as one of the nation’s largest insurance brokerages.
“Without the full gamut of plans and rates, we can’t tell” exactly how premiums on the exchange compare with existing rates, Carmichael said. For example, he said, a 27-year-old in Fort Worth can buy a policy roughly equivalent to a silver plan for $159 a month, which is lower than the unsubsidized price on the exchange.
He thinks younger people will see higher rates because of federal rules that narrow the price differences that insurers can charge between young and old. And that could be a problem, because “enrolling young people is what will make this work,” since their relatively low medical spending offsets higher expenses for older people.
“A lot depends on the tax credit,” Carmichael said.

You see all of these prices posted by those that support 0bamacare, but they refuse to show deductibles, co-pays and max out-of-pocket experiences.

smoke and mirrors
you cannot heap the waste, corruption and beurocracy on top of a functioning private sector & expect the end result to be better and cheaper. Especially not when you allow pre-existing conditions...
Even if my insurance, which by being self employed costs me $450/mo with a $5k deductible (family of 4, nonsmokers, no disease in the fam), was FREE with the new exchanges, I would oppose this on principle. Death, taxes, and insurance going up is what I count on happening.Ronald Reagan:"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Even if true, at $26, they won't pay for it, not unless they can put it on the Lone Star card."Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul HarveyComment
