Post #382,480 by boxley 10/21/13 8:10:51 PM Reply	just looked at a plan that would compare to what I would cal traditional, 1000/1500 deductable around $875 per month prior to subsidy. Considering that it around the same price as what I paid back in the day about 16k per year and it covers a lot more due to the law, I declare it cheaper as well.

Post #382,497 by folkert 10/21/13 11:05:47 PM Reply	Huh... If I can my work to pay me the benefit money, I get a $1100/month increase in pay. I get better coverage for $1100/month less money. Well not completely, I'd still have to pay for the Dental, Vision, accidental Death, long term disability... but that still gives me about $960 more per month. I thought you said it was going to increase everybody's costs. Explain that to me.

Post #382,503 by folkert 10/22/13 12:17:14 AM Reply	Also get... A sizable Tax Credit. So... that pricing didn't even include the Dental and Vision I could get... at better pricing. Just have to get the Accidental Death and Long Term Disability. Huh. This might turn out to be a good year, if I can get out of works coverage. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

According to HealthCare.gov, she would pay $231 a month, but the actual plan on Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina's website costs $360, more than 50 percent higher. The difference: Blue Cross and Blue Shield requests your birthday before providing more accurate estimates. snip Chini Krishnan is the chief executive officer of GetInsured.com. His company helped design California's new health-care-exchange website. It requires people to enter their birthdays to get a real price quote. Krishnan said, "It's important that the users have a proper, trustworthy, honest brand experience when they interact with HealthCare.gov, and I think providing accurate prices is an integral component of that." Industry executives CBS News spoke with could not believe the government is providing these estimates, which they said were useless and could easily mislead consumers. They also said that the website repeatedly states the actual prices could be lower, but it makes no mention that they could be higher.
