Tennessee: Obamacare will triple men's premiums, double women's
— Today, a 27-year-old man in Memphis can buy a plan for as low as $41 a month. On the exchange, the lowest state average is $119 a month — a 190 percent increase.
— Today, a 27-year-old woman in Nashville can also buy a plan for as low as $58 a month. On the exchange, the lowest-priced plan in Nashville is $114 a month — a 97 percent increase. Even with a tax subsidy, that plan is $104 a month, almost twice what she could pay today.
— Today, women in Nashville can choose from 30 insurance plans that cost less than the administration says insurance plans on the exchange will cost, even with the new tax subsidy.
— In Nashville, 105 insurance plans offered today will not be available in the exchange.
I'm not surprised. The agenda was, after all, to expand Medicaid by having healthy Americans pay for it via increased premiums or fines, er...taxes.
There is no way that Americans' insurance policies can now be required to cover almost everything (even if they neither want nor need it) without increasing premiums drastically. It's typical Robin Hood politics. Again.
The good Senator Alexander's analysis of Tennessee health insurance plans - those currently offered and those to be offered under the Affordable Care Act - is meaningless without giving some details of what each plan offers in terms of coverage. For example, what does the 27-year-old man in Memphis get for his $41 a month, and what would he get for $119 under ACA? (If that 27-year-old has an annual income of $25K, after tax credits his ACA health insurance plan would cost $103.)
Clicked on every link and read every article. Can't find where the current health plan for a 27 year old is 41.00 a month. could you please provide a valid link to that fact? Thank you.
If you find coverage that's cheaper and meets the requirements of the ACA then buy it. You don't have to buy them on the exchanges, do you?

Thank you for doing the heavy lifting, I don't have the patience any more.

That is the problem. Under Obamacare, ALL plans must include a mininum number of covered procedures to qualify. To include them automatically will cost more.
Why should two gay men have to purchase a health plan that covers mammograms or birth control pills?
Why should a single woman have to purchase a health plan that cover testicular or prostate cancer screenings?

Now how much does that 27-year-old man pay for an individual policy if he has any sort of pre-existing condition?
It is buy a higher policy and someone get the free.. buy one get one free... the middle class has to buy one and the non payers get one free.. Obamacare buy one -they get one free.
