"About two-thirds of current customers can still find coverage comparable to what they have now for $100 a month or less if they shop around. That's taking into account the tax credits that most consumers are eligible for."


I'm eligible for tax credits? Whoopie!

I wonder what "most consumers" actually means.

I believe, it means appointed and elected officials in Washington only. Famous forgotten lies, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan. PERIOD". I submit we've been "Grubered" by doctor Gruber.

We checked on coverage under Ocare just to see what it said. In my income level, a thousand dollar a month plan for a family of four gets subsidized down to about $250. The catch is, the kids have to use Medicare. So it seems like they want to "anchor baby" everyone into a government-run insurance program as step one, and eventually we'll all be there.

in other words, the plan costs more but the subsidy hides it, so low-info voters think it's very inexpensive.

The non-Ocare plan we have now is $650/month.
