The low-cost options are hidden because Barry and Jon Gruber designed the plan so that middle-class people are soaked for as much money as possible. Barry and Jon decided that the middle-class are stupid bourgeois tools of the evil capitalists who deserve to have their money redistributed to the working class.
This is just a transition phase.
In ten years the menu will be shortened to just one plan: universal coverage by the British U.S. National Health Service.
bump for later
The $103 special Silver Plan monthly premium sounds steep, right? But if you’re 144% or higher of the poverty level, you can get federal subsidies to cover the cost.
And with only a $500 deductible, you’ll already be covered by more than a bare-bones insurance plan.
It pays to shop around for a special Silver plan if you can afford it. If that’s too expensive, your state Medicaid plan is the best deal for health coverage.
I can’t wait until the government fixes the internet with its so called “net neutrality”. I’m sure they’ll do as good a job as they did with AbominableCare, er Obamacare.
Sounds good on paper. However, a 40 year old making $20K probably doesn't have a lot of cash sitting around. If they are healthy, I would think many would be tempted for the extra $66 a month by going with a bronze plan.
Buried, “special” laws and government policies were never intended for broad consumption. They were put there for special interest groups.
People flocking to Michigan because of Low Cost Plans? ( if the private sector tries his HSA-Concierge Model, perhaps)..

Why even discuss what Obamacare is hiding? We should be discussing how this AND the whole scheme should be eliminated!
It seems that the insurance companies have to eat the extra benefits of low deductibles and co pays. Plans like CAs Silver 97 a are super Cadillac benefits at the same premium as a Silver 70 plan.
