I'm still confused....I pay $1000 a month for health insurance for the three of us. How does this affect me? Will I save any money on my premiums, or am I just going to pay more in taxes to cover everyone else?

Other than Wolfette can now be covered up to age 26 and I can change insurance with pre-existing conditions. I don't see any big advantages for the average family.

Are you buying your own insurance or getting it through an employer?

The big changes are in the area of insurance mobility and availability. If you have insurance and unchanging employment and aren't hitting your coverage caps then you probably won't notice a big difference.

If you're purchasing your own insurance, then whether you'll get help on the price will depend on how much money you make and those parts will be a few years before they really kick in.

We purchase our own insurance since I work part time and my hubby is self employed.

A few years? Darn! Could use the help now.

Student loan rider must have been a talking point. I saw it mentioned by someone on MP also.

Anyone have more detailed analysis of that?
