It's hard to generalize because situations and rates will vary so much. Plus there has been so much misleading noise, people who aren't actually involved (most people) have no clue. A self employed younger person in many cases will opt for one of the exchange programs because they provide excellent coverage with competitive rates, plus pregnancy/obstetric. The program is very similar to the Massachusetts plan which has worked fairly well. Like I said, we won't get a clear reading on this until we see what 2015 premium rates bring. I do know one 30ish couple who are very well off, and self employed who are jumping on this big time. They have picked out a high end plan and say it's cheaper than their current Aetna coverage. Their big frustration is they can't get the website to work. So they have sent for the paper forms. I'd say they are very likely to be starting a family soon, so insurance is a bigger deal to them, than to some. I'd still rather have universal, single payer. But one works not with the government one would like to have, but with the government one gets. Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
