if capped at 8.5% i would pay more for health coverage. not many details in the plan but thats the best information i could find for my situation.

if i am allowed to skip on my employer provided coverage and wanted to switch to the public option i would pay more than what im paying for my employer provided coverage. i think the cost is already a bit high for my current coverage (i skipped on it this year) and i dont get much for it. i dont see anything tangible in his plan on how much out of pocket costs would be reduced.

according to the kaiser study he references 53% of the uninsured are at 200% and above the poverty level. if their situation is anything like mine they would opt to skip coverage or i think be forced to pay for the public option.

is the public option actually any option? if you are offered insurance at work and cant afford it are you forced to pay the 8.5% of your income into the public option???

in one way thats better than a mandate because you get coverage but uh thats a lot of money. im understanding this wrong.....right??

at minimum i need to see a plan that eliminates out of pocket costs and keeps a premium. i would pay 8.5% of my income into a plan that had no copays or deductibles. is someone offering something close to that?
