Nearly A Quarter Of Health Marketplace Enrollees Are Young Adults - Kaiser Health News
Obamacare enrollment lagging so far among much-needed young adults
The officials announced:
-- About 60 percent of people buying policies on the marketplaces chose a silver plan, 20 percent bought bronze, 13 percent bought gold and 7 percent bought platinum. Policies run from platinum as the most expensive, followed by gold, silver and bronze, the lowest tier. The higher the metal tier, the higher the monthly premium but the lower the copays and deductibles.
--Only about 1 percent of people chose a catastrophic plan which required enrollees to pay much of their medical costs up to a certain amount. Catastrophic plans are available for people under age 30, those with a financial hardship or those who have had their insurance policy canceled.
--About 80 percent of those buying a plan qualified for a financial subsidy.
-- Women were more likely to purchase plans on the exchange with only 46 percent of enrollees being male. Administration officials say they hope to enroll more men.
--The top five states for enrollment are California (498,794), Florida (158,030), New York (156,902), Texas (118,532) and North Carolina (107,778).
