 Calculator: How Much Will a Family Spend Under the Health Reform Proposals?
Enter family income, size and age of youngest adult and this interactive calculator estimates how much individuals and families will spend on premiums and their maximum out-of-pocket costs under the House and Senate health reform bills. The calculator compares premium costs in the two bills for individuals and families who purchase coverage through the new health insurance exchanges. The exchanges would be open to those who are not offered affordable coverage on the job. The exchanges would offer a choice of plans that meet standards for coverage and provide information to consumers to help them make educated choices about the policies they are purchasing.
Would the House health care bill be a job-killer or would it spur the economy?
