Broken in many ways? Absolutely. Fixable on a technical basis? Probably. Fixable in the real world? Not as long as it's a Democrat (regardless of race) getting credit for the Heritage Foundation's plan.

As for costs, I don't know your state or situation but that does seem high. In Illinois for an individual plan with BCBS (PPO, larger of their provider lists) I'm paying under 500 non subsidized though if the exchanges still exist next year I expect it to rise $50-100.

Edit: clarity




Employee + family is typically 3 to 4 times the cost of employee-only. I do have a high end plan.


Thanks, wasn't sure of the impact of family - for the couple years it was my wife and I on exchange plans the cost was basically just doubled.
