Re: health Insurance Premiums [OT]

Currently pay $617.54/mo for BCBS insurance on myself.Platinum BCBS plan on the state exchange is priced @ $582.79/mo for 2014.
That's interesting, as it's far different than other reports I've encountered from friends in the individual market. Are these plans otherwise identical, particularly the deductible? Dramatically increased deductibles seems to be the major complaint I've heard (premiums increasing too, but I guess we're just resigned to that).

I think you're right about a gradual 'pushing out' of Medicare eligibility. I'm probably too old to be affected, but my kids likely will be, and certainly the grandkids.
