From the govt website, www.healthcare.gov they tell you you can figure your
subsidy for insurance by using the calculator at Keiser.

This is only an estimate though. It may vary.

There's a calculator at the site to see how much you would pay for insurance after any subsidies.

For example: a single person making only $21,000 and not qualified for medicaid, that person might pay about $97 a month for a silver plan. Might be tough for the average person to come up with that $97.

Calculate your premium and subsidies:
http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/

Here are the percentages of health care costs you pay for each type of plan.

Bronze plan: 40%
Silver plan: 30%
Gold plan: 20%
Platinum plan: 10% of your health care costs.
(The higher the out of pocket the lower the premium)

Main website is www.healthcare.gov

I'm not saying there aren't good things, but the really bad thing is that health care will be based on class/wealth
and many low income people will not be able to afford it.
