Al,
Keep denying facts you don't like node...
Which facts did he "deny"? The one talking about the "50% discount" that individuals buying their own insurance will enjoy in NY?

First of all, NY is already known for having tons of regulations and very few choices for individuals buying their own insurance. That in itself leads to premiums well above the average.

Secondly, further down in the article, it states that only 17,000 New Yorkers pay for their own health insurance. With a sample size so small compared to the entire state population, it's likely that every single one of them is an "exception" case.

Third, we already have one data point on this very thread that contradicts the NYT claim of $1,000/month for health insurance premiums.

And fourth, who wants to pay $1,000/month for health insurance? No one would do that unless they have health conditions that force them. That suggests that the people paying for their own insurance aren't "typical" for New Yorkers or the rest of the nation.

I think you're pissed off because Inode dared to call B.S. on yet another NYT puff piece.
