Do you know what that policy would cost today?? (This "average" means absolutely nothing. Healthcare insurance premiums are based on age.) Before signing up for Illinois' subsidized ICHIP program, I paid $850 a month for a $5,200 deductible policy. The rate you've listed here looks cheap. (Illinois' subsidized ICHIP program premium is $670 a month for the same deductible.)
Combine what I consider to be reasonable rates with the fact that people who've heretofore been unable tobuy health insurance because of pre-existing conditions, and I don't think these rates are bad at all.
Without a comparison to "before," your "after" is meaningless.
The internet is your friend.
$2000 deductible, 0% Coinsurance, in Los Angeles for a single female... $174.00/month
$1750 deductible, 0% Coinsurance, in Chicago for a single female... $216.00/month
There is your "before". We now see the "after" will cost more.
