“The result? For insurance coverage that falls into what Healthcare.gov calls the “bronze” level – around $5,000 annual deductible per person and twice that for family, some prescription coverage and some office visit copays – the hypothetical family will spent $160 a month less in premiums buying now compared with buying after Jan. 1, when all insurance must meet certain Affordable Care Act mandates.

To be specific, the premiums were $513 a month now but $673 a month next year, according to Stebbins’ work.

The difference is less than it seems because the deductible was a few hundred dollars higher – in other words, better – under the plan after Jan. 1, which is nothing to sneeze at.”


Huh? Better to have a higher deductible for those premiums?

Have there been any legitimate reports of people saving money yet?

We do know, for a dead certainty, that whatever the costs are now, they will be much, much higher later. That's just how redistribution rolls.

Oh, and also...
