Healthcare costs New York

[GenuineRisk]

In all fairness, it's hard to tell how it will all play out until it's actually well under way. I find it very hard to compare health care plans since they vary so much in what they offer and what the purchaser is liable for. But fingers crossed. The increase in competition is a very positive thing.

If it does work out well, it'll be interesting to see how things go in the states that are refusing to be part of the exchanges.

Back in the 1990s, when I had to buy my own insurance I was spending over 10 percent of my gross income on my health insurance (it was over $300 a month for me back then, as a young, thin, non smoker with no preexisting conditions). It sucked. Nice to think 20 somethings today may be able to get coverage without going broke doing it.
