I picked Aetna and populated it with information as an idividual M/36 in California (they didn't have NY but here they are $48.44 for our company employees)
I'm actually in the process of open enrollment for insurance right now at my company and it's $39.00 each pay period (biweekly) costing me about $975 for just myself, since my wife is included it's double that. Our cheapest si $15.95 biweekly and it doesn't cover much but hospital stays and a handful of doctor visits. $975 from a FORTUNE 500 company with over 5,000 employees, even at that rate someone making $12,000 (hopefully that's takehome) it's a large amount.
From what I can see from the Aetna quotes, while I can pick lower coverage, I'd probably end up putting more out of pocket somewhere. My thought it that the plans offered are very confusing and not simple in anyway shape or form. At the maximum $250/month is HUGE for someone only making $12,000/year basically making them choose between eating and healthcare coverage, and that doesn't include prescriptions, doctor copays, and transportation to doctors, missed work, etc.
