  • Obamacare: Affordable Private Insurance Is Already Available [View article]
    Mark, I live in CT and am in my early 60's. The last time I had to look at individual health insurance premiums they were higher than what you quote, even with high deductibles. They further came with exhausitve questionaires and the cheapest premium company undertook to sell me a policy with a rider that took out coverage for my entire gatro-intestinal system.

    Even the numbers you quote look a little steep compared to average wage rates, and they are prohibitive when viewed in the context of the minimum wage.

    There is something wrong here and it needs to be fixed. Whether the current health-care reform legistlation will fix it is another question entirely.
