this link will show you what the various plans cost in your zip code. i tested it out using my info and its dead on.
its a way to see what it will cost w/o using healthcare.gov (you would have to check the individual companies to see what the coverages actually are but its a start)

3. The one problem with some of these is they don't give a premium for your specific age.

A 51 year old pays more than a 50 year old, etc.

As someone pointed out to me, even the quick lookup on healthcare.gov only breaks it down into a couple of age ranges. So if you are say 60 and look at the plans that pop up, you will actually pay maybe as much as 30% more than what is displayed.

However, when I looked further, I was still surprised to find the rates were lower than I ever paid for a traditional Blue Cross Plan with an ever increasing deductible to minimize 20 to 30% annual premium increases.

So, this is not a criticism of ACA -- which I support over what we had before -- but the web sites aren't telling the whole truth.

It appears the HealthSerpa site does do it by actual age. Cool and useful.

4. Sorry, but those rates are

nothing like what I got on the healthcare.gov website. The subsidies that website is showing are way higher than actual.
