Who and how much will pay for Obamacare in 2017 year

In 2017, Americans expect a rise in Obamacare insurance prices. With an average level of growth in 22%, changes in price will vary greatly from state to state: in some places the cost will increase by only a few dollars, while in others a huge price spike is expected.

For example, in Arizona the cost will double - to $422 per month for a 27-year-old insured; in Oklahoma the price will rise by 69% - to $424. Monthly premiums in 2017 will range from $219 in New Hampshire and Massachusetts to $760 in Alaska.

CNN collected data on how much premium insurance will cost in each state.

However, 85% of the insured will not experience such a significant increase in prices due to subsidies. A 27-year-old American who earns up to $ 25 thousand a year will pay $ 142 monthly for a premium plan after receiving subsidies; a family of 4 people who have a total income of $ 60 thousand or less per year will also be eligible for subsidies.

In addition, subsidies can be used to buy cheaper insurance plans, and then the monthly payment will be less than $ 100. About 75% of Obamacare clients can use this right.

However, many clients may face the problem of too narrow an insurer's choice or lack of it at all, since many insurance companies refused to cooperate with Obamacare in 2017. On average, each state has the opportunity to choose from 3 companies.

Over the 6 years, from 2010, the number of uninsured Americans under the age of 65 has decreased from 18% to 10%. However, 27 million US residents younger than 65 years still do not have health insurance.

At the same time 40% of them could receive discounts and subsidies for insurance from the state, but for some reason do not submit applications for insurance and discounts.
