American media outlets were finally able to track down a mythical creature — a person who actually signed up for the Obamacare exchanges online.
But that person, Chad Henderson, admitted to the Washington Post that the premium for the plan he enrolled in was $175. Ouch! Wasn’t Obamacare supposed to lower premiums?
Henderson’s going to pay a $175 premium and he won’t even receive vision or dental insurance. He has contacts, so not having vision insurance is kind of a bum deal.
Henderson, as far as we know a healthy, 21-year-old college student at Chattanooga State Community College who lives in Flintstone, Ga., and works part-time at a day-care center, did not qualify for tax credits to purchase insurance, according to the Post.
Without Obamacare, Henderson could have received health insurance for as little as $44.72 on eHealthInsurance.com, according to Michael F. Cannon of the Cato Institute.
“I can’t yet say whether Chad’s $175 premium is the lowest-cost plan available to him through the Obamacare Exchange,” Cannon said. “[I’m in the process of researching that, and it’ll probably take a few hours.] But it’s probably close.”

Ha Ha..that's just to keep her from coming up lame...
I thought everyone under 27 was going on Dsd’s insurance. Well Obama can’t even get that right.
Pretty lousy plant, if you ask me (what? you didn’t ask?). You’d think as a shill he’d tell a better story.
Sign me up!
21 year old student...He should be on HIS PARENT’S new Obamacare insurance till 26! Won’t cost him a dime.
A typical insurance program is $110/month. This kid is getting screwed by ObamaDeathCare.
You mean it doesn't cover the co-payment for prescriptions or it doesn't cover prescriptions entirely?
After the prescriptions reach the out of pocket limit they are reimbursed/credited to the account, before that its all out of pocket.
Interesting thing, she got letter today from BC/BSH saying her coverage will end 12/31/2013. She can call them directly and renew at $265.00 a month.
Seems to me folks need to check this out for themselves as always YMMV..
