 | When I wrote the premium comparison example on the blog featured last week, I was thinking in terms of my own situation. I see now that this was a poor choice on my part. I'm so used to paying several hundred dollars for insurance that to me those figures were reasonable. I should have known better, and I apologize. I am not the typical health insurance consumer under the Affordable Care Act. Under the ACA, my premium is going to be high because I chose a high-priced plan. There are four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. I chose Platinum. People with limited incomes are much more likely to choose Silver or Bronze. See the headline below for information about people who are saving huge amounts of money with the ACA. |
