In reply to the discussion: Health Insurance Rate Shock-California Obamacare Insurance Exchange Announces Premium Rates [View all]truedelphi
(32,324 posts)here in California, up to about 23K $$ a year. However, the last time we were able to qualify for health insurance, it had an $ 800 a month deductible. And of course, that has to do with Calif. state policies, and the consideration of rent payments being so high.
I have no idea what will happen in California after the 2014 ACA provisions kick in.
I did really like the fact that our household would have gotten help on a per month deductible basis, because if our household has to come up with a $ 5,000 a year deductible before help is given, it means we would probably be dead, since we don't have the $ 5,000. Help being offered after $ 800 as spent seemed like the way to go. (Our years of retirement money was wiped out during the bankruptcy.)
