About 'private health insurance cost'|Private Health Insurance Exchanges Enjoy an Edge Over State HIX








President               Obama               and               company               have               been               dropping               the               term               "health               insurance               exchanges"               when               discussing               the               health               care               reform               bill.

There               is               an               underlying               assumption               that               people               know               what               a               health               insurance               exchange               contains.

A               health               insurance               exchange               is               more               than               a               simple               listing               of               health               insurance               companies.

There               are               certain               compliance               requirements               insurance               companies               need               to               meet               to               be               in               the               exchanges,               and               there               are               also               features               to               help               Americans               determined               affordability               and               compare               plans               available               to               them               in               their               state.

What               Are               Health               Insurance               Exchanges?
               Insurance               Marketplace
               Health               insurance               exchanges               provide               consumers               an               easy               way               to               compare               health               insurance               plans.

If               you've               ever               compared               health               insurance               plans               through               your               company's               health               benefits               Web               site,               the               exchange               is               similar,               only               more               expansive.
               Run               by               the               State
               Currently,               the               idea               is               to               have               each               state               set               up               its               own               health               insurance               exchange.

Massachusetts               already               has               one.

According               to               Time,               some               states               may               join               forces               to               create               regional               exchanges,               encompassing               more               than               one               state.

This               may               work               for               smaller               states,               because               in               theory,               the               more               people               in               the               marketplace,               the               more               competitive               the               insurance               rates               will               be.
               Free               or               Low               Cost               Insurance
               If               the               Massachusetts               health               insurance               exchange               is               an               example,               the               exchange               is               where               consumers               can               determine               their               eligibility               for               low               or               not               cost               health               insurance.

Related               information               and               application               forms               are               available               for               multiple               programs,               including               Children's               Medical               Security               Plan               (CMSP)               Commonwealth               Care,               MassHealth,               Healthy               Start,               and               the               Uncompensated               Care               Pool.

(Commonwealth               Connector)
               Competitive               Marketplace
               In               theory,               the               health               insurance               exchange               is               a               competitive               marketplace.

The               Massachusetts               health               insurance               exchange,               called               the               Commonwealth               Connector               is               an               example               of               the               reality               of               prices               that               are               not               competitive,               with               the               cheapest               available               policy               starting               at               $799               per               month.
               According               to               Ezra               Klein,               a               health               insurance               exchange               will               "use               market               share               to               bargain               down               the               prices               of               services."               While               the               prices               available               through               the               exchange               may               be               lower               than               they               are               for               an               individual               buying               health               insurance               on               their               own               in               Massachusetts,               the               prices               are               not               competitive               to               the               lower               prices               offered               through               company-sponsored               plans.

Consider               the               cheapest               plan               available               through               the               Commonwealth               Connector               is               double               what               my               family               of               three               pays               per               month               for               better               coverage.
               What               Health               Insurance               Exchanges               Are               Not
               Not               A               Way               to               Curb               Heath               Care               Costs
               As               attractive               and               convenient               as               the               health               insurance               exchanges               sound               for               consumers,               they               are               not               a               way               to               keep               health               care               costs               down.

According               to               the               CATO               Institute,               the               Massachusetts               Connector,               "has               failed               to               restrain               the               growth               in               health-care               costs"               and               "Health-care               costs               continue               to               rise               much               faster               in               Massachusetts               than               in               the               nation               as               a               whole."               Consumers               living               in               Massachusetts               also               know               this               through               experience.
               Rather               than               becoming               a               more               competitive               and               open               marketplace,               the               system               seems               to               have               gone               the               way               of               cable               TV:               fewer               choices               with               rising               prices.

Since               the               Massachusetts               health               reform               was               enacted,               health               insurance               premiums               here               have               actually               risen               at               "double               the               national               average,               or               10               to               12               percent               a               year",               according               to               the               National               Review.
               Not               the               Yellow               Pages
               Health               insurance               exchanges               are               not               yellow               page               listings               of               every               health               insurance               company               under               the               sun.

Only               health               insurance               companies               which               do               business               in               your               state               will               be               included.

Those               health               insurance               companies               must               meet               certain               requirements,               including               being               able               to               justify               premium               hikes               to               the               state,               or               the               insurer               can               be               excluded               from               the               exchange,               according               to               The               White               House               Blog.
               Not               Government-Run               Insurance
               The               health               insurance               exchanges               include               private               insurance               companies.

These               are               the               same               health               insurance               companies               which               offer               policies               to               individuals               as               well               as               company-sponsored               health               plans.

Government               and               state-run               plans               may               be               included               in               the               exchanges               for               those               who               meet               the               eligibility               guidelines,               but               most               of               the               plans               in               the               exchange               are               private               health               insurance               companies.
               Not               A               Replacement               for               Your               Company-Sponsored               Insurance
               If               you               already               purchase               health               insurance               through               your               company,               you               are               not               required               to               use               a               health               insurance               exchange.

You               are               welcome               to               compare               prices               available               in               your               state,               if               you               feel               you               pay               too               much               in               health               insurance               premiums.

Company-sponsored               health               insurance               programs               are               considered               a               job               benefit               because               the               company               is               paying               a               percentage               of               your               health               coverage               bill.

However,               if               you               still               pay               too               much               through               your               company's               plan,               now               you               have               a               more               convenient               way               to               compare               other               health               insurance               options.
