Article Photo(Reuters) - Americans will pay an average premium of $328 monthly for a mid-tier health insurance plan when the Obamacare health exchanges open for enrollment next week, and most will qualify for government subsidies to lower that price, the Obama administration said on Wednesday.
The figure, based on data for approved insurance plans in 48 states, represents the broadest national estimate for how much Americans will pay for health coverage under President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law next year. The prices of the new plans are at the heart of a political debate over whether they will be affordable enough to attract millions of uninsured Americans.
if we stop listening to right wing rhetoric which has been proven to be false from day one of their campaign to deny us health care.  it will escalate in the remaining 6 days.
if you listen close they will repeat the same things they have from the beginning but keep in mind with all the negatives they come up with are not true because the law has not yet been activated, yet we have republicans running to it faster than Progressives, that worries me we don't need to fall back into that state of indifference.
Prices were lower in states with more competition among insurers and higher in states with fewer players, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said in its report. Americans will be able to sign up for the new plans via online state exchanges beginning on October 1.
"For millions of Americans these new options will finally make health insurance work within their budgets," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said during a briefing with reporters.
The Obama administration is counting on signing up 7 million Americans in the first full year of reform through the state exchanges, including 2.7 million younger and healthier consumers who are needed to offset the costs of sicker members.
they argue higher prices circumstances can make that possible depending on participation, and therein lies the reason for hard press on the negative negatives they are trying to win us over with, if they can convince us that giving Americans affordable health care is an abomination they think that fickle Americans might bite, they only hear less money, what they don't hear is if not this than it's what you have now.
it now becomes who do we believe Pres. has done everything he can to help and give us an America we think we are, while they show the world what they are and where the country will be if we let them in.  there'a a horror movie called "let the right one in", recognize
