I did the calculator thing here

http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/

I will pay 68 dollars a month with 2200 a year out of pocket...I work Part time 29.5 hours a week...

not too bad if it is true....I went back and recalculated. I apologize...it must be my painful tooth,

1. I cracked my top rear molar.

and it is now chipped so badly it's cutting into my tongue. I have no insurance. I tried to pull it myself with a needle nose pliers, but no go. I guess I just have to choose a dentist and go in blind and pay out of pocket. Ain't life wonderful!

3. *I know* I'm a crybaby....

waaaaaaaaa!

10. Took me days to pull my tooth...back and forth..back and forth...

then it took years for the final piece to surface and dislodge..but I did it..

[Steerpike]

11. Thanks angstlessk

I'm doing the old back and forth right now.

[angstlessk]

13. Then I pulled straight up...not with needle nose...could break a tooth..but with regular pliars

You should really consult a dentist...some roots of teeth wrap around the jaw bone..and if you pull that ..you break your jaw..so a dentist should be consulted and an xray done.

2. Redo your pricing when the actual exchanges open Oct 1st. n/t

7. Every state will have an exchange, 36 of the exchanges are operated by the Federal government. n/t

4. I'm 72 and on Medicare. I pay almost $300 a month.

This is for me and my wife, so divide by 2.

Medicare - Part B - $210
Medigap - $345
Prescription ins. - $37
TOTAL MONTHLY MED INS. PREMIUMS - $592

You're getting a good deal...for the U.S.

In many countries I would pay...NOTHING!

6. at least you get to retire

I get to work until I drop dead. I was just hoping the deducible would be lower.

17. You are fortunate you can afford your premiums.

I am on Medicare with only the Part B and I pay $105 a month. I can't afford the medicap or prescription insurance. Since my Social Security check is $1400 monthly, that does not leave me much to live on.

9. just called one dentist

about 500 dollars just to have the tooth extracted.

[TexasTowelie]

12. Wow,

I had a number of teeth extracted in 2011 before I had the rest removed during oral surgery. The most that any one tooth cost was $144.

14. welcome to alaska

It is chipped down to the gum and may need minor cutting to extract. I left a message at UAA Dental school and will see what they can do (if anything)...

[NV Whino]

16. Check around

I paid $250 for an extraction.

15. Obama delayed the cap on out of pocket expenses for an additional year

I'm somewhat screwed by that too. He needs to un delay it.
