These low cost plans aren't your only option and will not be your only option with a national plan. If you can afford a better plan, you can buy it. I bought a moderate plan - something around $450 a month for individual coverage (my wife is under Medicare). I'm not eligible for any subsisy, so that's what I pay, but someone with lower income could choose the same plan at lower cost to them. I have no problem finding doctors who accept it in SE MA. There's a tremendous amount of ignorance and outright lying about these subjects. It's disgusting. Yes, something like this IS what we want to do with the rest of the country.

If you are poor and have a job and no health insurance, NO HEALTHCARE !! As part of that MA Healthcare Law... hospitals can not offer FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE to low income or indigent. The healthcare admin system has been misplacing ?? 'appeals' responses from subscribers to the point that we advise subscribers to send in responses via 'certified uspo'. ALMOST NO DOCTORS in Southeastern Massachusetts will accept Commonwealth Care(i.e., the suburban and rural areas)... better luck if for are completely impoverished. Even more fun with MA Health..
