...say WTF all you want to. I mean, the OP is about the CBO report that shows premiums will be lower than expected. Health care costs grow every year. When growth is at the slowest pace in 50 years. That's a significant savings.
Still, even with that fact, premiums are lower than the status quo.
Most families/people are saving a lot more than $2,500 a year (the average subsidy is about $4,000). Premiums were nearly $12,000 per year for an individual plan. Millions of people are paying less than $100 per month. Million are paying nothing.
