Clever Handle has a diary up about Michael Olenick's article today at Naked Capitalism, and this diary should be regarded as somewhat of a companion piece, addressing some different issues than the ones that CH addresses.
Basically, Olenick has been trying to compare plans and price them, and determine which plan would work best. Given the healthcare.gov website's technical problems, he decided to download the insurer's information and brochures, and put together a spreadsheet comparing over 130 plans. The results are, as the understated British might say, a wee bit disquieting.
If my numbers, and Olenick's numbers are right, there is every reason to believe that a family of three could easily be looking at an annual out of pocket cost of 33.74% of their annual income, if someone were to get sick. Spoiler alert: MATH below the orange squiggle of DOOOOOMMM!!!
