Many of you have been hoping to at least see the plans and prices on the federal exchanges, without success due to the current glitches at healthcare.gov.
With the assistance of DKos user guyeda, here's a link to detailed information about the available plans and their costs. It is a large spreadsheet, but you can filter by state, county, level of plan, etc., and get the actual cost for the plan under a variety of different age and family-size scenarios.
Thus, for instance, if you live in Bexar County, Texas, you can see that the cheapest Bronze plan (to take one example) is issued by BlueCross Blue Shield, is called Blue Advantage Bronze HMO 006, and costs:
* $138.38/mo for a 27-year old individual;
* $235.83/mo for a 50 year old individual;
* $467.44/mo for a family (2 adults);
* $317.57/mo for single-parent family;
* $337/mo for a couple; and
* $83.85 for just one child.
Two caveats: (1) this DOES NOT include the subsidies, and (2) it DOES NOT include all of the plan details. With respect to the latter, I've found that the websites of the insurers often contain this information; just look for the plan name.
If the spreadsheet intimidates you (and it's huge), I've also done some digging and found this site which seems to be pulling from the same underlying data source. One benefit here is that it allows you to include your families' ages and income, and it calculates the expected subsidy as well. Note: the subsidy calculator here doesn't work for all states, it appears. You can estimate your subsidy here.
Note that, unlike the first link, which is directly to data.healthcare.gov, this second site appears to include state-exchange data too, with the exception of Hawaii, Idaho, Maryland, and Massachusetts.
Hopefully you will find this satisfies your curiosity until you're able to get on Healthcare.gov and sign up.
UPDATE: To clarify something that might have been highlighted better, once you have the insurer and the plan names, you can go directly to the insurer's website to get further details of the plan.
For instance, on the example I gave above, I searched for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (which is http://www.bcbstx.com/), went to coverage options, individual/family plans, and right there you can browse all of the plans, at the different metal levels, including the Blue Advantage Bronze HMO 006 I mentioned above. So I can see the chart there, and it tells me that this plan has a $6000 deductible, a $6000 out of pocket cap, that there is no charge or co-pay to visit in-network primary care physicians, specialists, or preventative care, etc.
So yes, it's a little bit of work, but if you can't get on healthcare.gov and you're anxious to start browsing, you now have the tools you need.
