Chart based on Jonathan Gruber’s calculations here, in The New Yorker. Gruber was on PBS’s NewsHour a few days ago, opposite a cranky old man from the Heritage Foundation who seems to be offended that he gets a fat paycheck. Transcript and much more information, here. Video of entire segment (including report on House hearings on the “glitches”), below.

Gruber was interviewed by economics reporter Paul Solman earlier, and that appeared on NewsHour’s blog, on October 1; that transcript is here.

The deadline has been extended at least a month — I thought it went to March 31 now.

It is private insurance with a 10K deductible but my original quote for a 5K deductible was about $170. At this time I can’t get to the market to see what I am qualified for if at all. and The deadline to choose is Dec. 31 so I hope it gets fixed.

Quote from the exchange? Employer sponsored insurance? Are you in the independent market? Changes in deductibles, etc.?
Sorry to hear you’re in the 3%, if you are.

I just got my new insurance quote. My current premium goes from $146/mo. to $424/mo. I can’t get to the exchange to see if I can mitigate this but, this is not good. If the playing field is being leveled then we will need to be paying $5000 a year per person on health care. $1.65 trillion a year. Back of envelope 10.5% of GDP. The actual cost I seem to remember is something on the order of 17%. I guess taxes will cover the difference.
