Is that all you got from that article?
I got this:
The analysis did not factor in tax credits to help offset the increase.
To be sure, there are benefits that balance some of the downsides for young people:
- In roughly six months, many young adults up to age 26 should be eligible for coverage under their parents' insurance - if their parents have insurance that provides dependent coverage.
- Tax credits will be available for individuals making up to four times the federal poverty level, $43,320 for a single person. The credits will vary based on income and premiums costs.
- Low-income singles without children will be covered for the first time by Medicaid, which some estimate will insure 9 million more young adults.
But on average, people younger than 35 who are buying their own insurance on the individual market would pay $42 a month more, according to an analysis by Rand Health, a research division of the nonpartisan Rand Corp.
