Making 30K a year, family of 4 in Oregon, we'll be fully covered for the next two years. If the kids have to age out after that (and I haven't looked at the rules there) the worst case is $100 or $200 a month. The co-pays and deductibles are very reasonable.

If I wind up making more money in the future and having to pay more that would be just fine too. At 49, I know enough people who have lost everything to medical emergencies, its a huge relief to know that won't happen to my family. Much thanks to the president, to everyone in congress who worked hard for this, and to my state government that stayed on top of things and got it all ready well beforehand!
