Mara's health insurance calculator on B2 shows the Silver plan which has 70% coverage. 70% is rather low. Also, I just calculated insurance for myself

Until about 1 month ago I had my own insurance, the premium was $175 per month with $2,000 deductible and I believe like 80 or even 90% coverage.

Using Mara's calculator (and my current income) my plan would cost $263 per month, cover only 70% and have an out-of-pocket cost of no more than $6350. That is one really crappy plan compared to what I had.

(Currently I have insurance through work).

Single payer system. We are a third-world country without it. Particularly grotesque is the for-profit parts of the health system. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 17, 19:34 3

- Americans pay more tax dollars for health insurance than any other industrialized country. And for that, we get ZERO health insurance. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 17, 20:06
