Online Tool Calculates Premium Subsidies in Key Reform Proposals

The Kaiser Family Foundation has created an interactive calculator that helps illustrate premium payments and subsidies under the health reform plans being considered by key Congressional committees.

The calculator approximates premiums and subsidies for those who purchase coverage on their own through an exchange or gateway. It estimates what individuals and families at different income levels might have to pay for health insurance premiums, what share they would pay directly, and how much financial assistance the federal government would provide toward the premium cost under the alternative plans in the House and Senate. The calculator also illustrates how premiums might vary by age, income, and family size.
