My apologies if this was posted previously. From the NYT - "Consumers should be prepared for “much tighter, narrower networks” of doctors and hospitals, said Adam M. Linker, a health policy analyst at the North Carolina Justice Center, a statewide advocacy group."
“That can be positive for consumers if it holds down premiums and drives people to higher-quality providers,” Mr. Linker said. “But there is also a risk because, under some health plans, consumers can end up with astronomical costs if they go to providers outside the network.”
I think Washington is cancelling their basic health care program. It was for low-incomes but some of it wasn't that cheap. My guess is with the Bronze plan your friends will be paying very little. I don't know what the plan is on the deductible but I am sure if they went with the bronze plan they would pay very little. Washington by the way has been ahead of the curve on childrens health. The very high cigarette taxes go to the childrens health program. The Washington exchange is up and running if you want to check the numbers.
I guess I could go check it out, but from I hear, you have to register "before you can see what's in it" .. I've got insurance already, and I was surprised when I learned that possibly the deductibles on these plans would be huge compared to what I've got.
Maybe when I go for a visit next time, I'll get on their computer so I can see what they are seeing.

As more and more Democrats discover how bad the ACA is, I keep getting reminded of the citizens of the new Soviet Union discovering what Marxism REALLY as the new USSR soldiers came knocking on THEIR doors to round them up to be sent to Siberia.
In both instances, they assumed their leaders were telling the truth when they were assured that only other people would suffer.
And, in both instances, they will go to their dooms crying out that it must all be a mistake somehow.
Imagine what would happen if they realized their gods were false and had lied to them.
Imagine what would happen if they followed the tenets of the Liberal dogma of the past and "Never trust the government!"
Just imagine!
You have to ask the question in the first place, why people are uninsured in the first place.
They sold this to those very people, like "now you will have healthcare" like it was going to be free, to get support.
Yes, they will have healthcare, by being forced to buy insurance, that allocation is not in the already tight budget, living day to day, week to week.
