Estimate Costs of Health Plans for Florida

The Tampa Bay Times has published an article on September 25, 2013 providing a preview to the rates expected to be published on October 1, 2013 for health insurance under the affordable care act.

A single 27 year old earning $25,000.00 per year can buy a bronze poilicy (the least expensive) for $167.00 per month.  He/she will receive a tax credit due to their low income of $54.00 per month reducing their premium to $113.00 per month.  This tax credit will be paid directly to the insurance provider.

A family of 4 living in Tampa Bay earning $50,000.00 per year can get a silver policy (the second lowest cost plan) for $282.00 per month, after receiving the tax credit.

Coverage offered by these plans are expected to include preventative care and maternity care.

Everyone will be able to research plans in their communities beginning October 1, 2013 at www.healthcare.gov.
