Obama Care’s insurance exchange website, HealthCare.gov, has been skewered in the media recently and I never could figure out exactly what was wrong with it so I logged in the morning to shop for a plan. Without any hiccups, I entered my state, was taken to the local connectforhealthco.com exchange, and a list of plans was displayed based on my demographic information. For me, a healthy, non-smoking man in his late twenties, a bronze plan started at around $130 per month for a no-name provider with the Kaiser plan starting around $150. I read that the health care exchange would raise prices on my demographic, but when I was shopping for insurance several years ago, the seemingly identical plan from Kaiser cost closer to $200 per month. Granted, this is a totally unscientific analysis and maybe after aging a few years my risk has decreased, but the prices seem at least stable if not lower for my demographics. Also, while I didn’t actually purchase the plan, the website seemed flawless. Maybe the specifics will come out with time, but because Obama Care is so polarizing I have to wonder if partisan politics are coming into play with the criticism of the web exchange.
