In reply to the discussion: Supreme Court Might Decide Their Second Election [View all]subterranean
(3,427 posts)20. It's difficult to say exactly how much an individual or family would have to pay.
There are too many variables -- age, income, how many people are in your household, which insurance plan you choose, what insurance plans will be available, etc. I myself have tried to find information such as the cost and the type of coverage that will be available, but to no avail.
Of course, there's the Kaiser Family Foundation health insurance calculator (http://healthreform.kff.org/SubsidyCalculator.aspx ), but that only shows the cost for a single person or a family of 4, neither of which matches my situation. Also, I noticed the unsubsidized cost is much higher than the cost of the high-deductible plans I could buy right now. Does that mean the insurance will offer much better coverage? I have no idea.
