My brother just got his letter cancelling his individual health insurance policy. As of Jan 1 he can only get something from the exchanges. He pays $170/month for a catastrophic plan with limited small things covered. I'll update when he finds out what his new insurance plan offers.
Last week, our family received notice from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Colorado that we can no longer keep the plan we like because of changes from health care reform (also called the Affordable Care Act or ACA). The letter informed us that to meet the requirements of the new laws, your current plan can no longer be continued beyond your 2014 renewal date..
A 40-year-old can expect to pay from $176.89 a month for a bronze plan on the individual market

If you're talking about Colorado, the rates for their high deductible options are known:
Colorado Exchange Releases Health Insurance Rates
A 40-year-old can expect to pay from $176.89 a month for a bronze plan on the individual market
Less than $7 difference from your brother's former rates for a middle-aged person.
Age and geography will vary that; if he's younger than middle aged and/or has an income under four times the poverty level, a bronze plan will be cheaper for him than what he was paying.
Remember how batshit crazy liberals went when he was first outted:
Joe Wilson was 100% correct. Obama is a liar.
(waiting for the "all politicians lie" excuse in 5, 4, 3 . . . .)

Really?
Show me exactly where it says illegals can buy ACA from the exchanges.
They cannot.
Wilson lies and he knew he was lying when he did it.
Edited to add - you ASSSume all politicians lie because you're used to teepubs. They lie.
Hell, if they didn't lie, no one would vote for them.

If you want to keep the plan you're on, you can do that. - B. Obama
Liar, liar, liar.

Did you even bother to read what I have posted so far? Didn't think so.
Although as I've stated in another thread I am not the dumbass whisperer. However, for you I'll make an exception.
Obama said: First of all, if you've got health insurance, you like your doctor, you like your plan - you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. Nobody is talking about taking that away from you.
His. Plan. Was. Cancelled. Due. to. the. ACA.
Obama lied.
Wilson was right.
Get it?

Unbelievable.
Listen up you stooges.
Jan 1 ALL INDIVIDUAL policies MUST be ACA compliant.
ALL individual plans in effect today by LAW end Dec 31.
God damn I am sick of ill educated people.
suddenly you think insurance companies are trustful and honest? really?
He has had his policy for five years. His physical state has improved over the last five years. If the insurance company were going to cancel his policy surely they would have done it when he was sick, no? The ACA is forcing the cancelling of his policy. Fact.
Obama lied when he said if you liked your plan you could keep your plan.

Obama lied when he said if you liked your plan you could keep your plan.
If he enrolled in the plan before March 23, 2010, the plan would be grandfathered in. He must have purchased the plan after the ACA was passed. If not, then the insurance company chose to close out the plan and no longer offer it. My kids are both on grandfathered plans, so I can keep them on those if I choose, or I can move them to a plan offered in the exchange. I had to purchase their plans separately from mine because Anthem and everyone else denied me coverage when we moved due to a pre-existing condition. I ended up going without insurance for a couple of years until they instituted the high risk pool, which I have been on the past couple of years.
Just over half of the individual plans currently on the market do not meet the standards to be sold next year, when many key provisions of President Obama's Affordable Care Act kick in, according to a University of Chicago study. That's because the law sets new minimums for the basic coverage every individual health care plan must provide.

First, if your insurance company screws you over, that's not a lie on Obama's part. That's your insurance company screwing you over because that's what insurance companies do and have always done.
Second, that's not what Wilson said.
Boing your argument has really fallen on it's face.

Can you tell me why a 55 year old male must pay for coverage for maternity and newborn care, pediatric services, including oral and vision care?
Obama lied when he said if you like your plan you can keep your plan. Whether he gets to keep his doctor is not yet known.

It's called spreading the risk.
He's not at risk of any of those things, but since he's paying for that, it costs those at risk a lot less.
My insurance would be a lot less if they used the same concept with the tobacco surcharge I'm getting dinged with.
I agree with you.No, he's had this plan for five years. Plans that do not meet the ACA requirements are being cancelled.

Those who are high risk should be paying more ... because they are a higher risk to insure. The risk should be spread among those who are high risk, not have high risk people get cheaper insurance by lower risk people paying more, by paying for them.
Should a newly licensed 16 year old pay the same for car insurance as a person who has been driving for 30 years with a good track record? Of course not, the 16 year old is a much higher risk and should pay more.
