PA Premiums for Affordable Care Act

from the inbox:

Enroll America Pennsylvania State Director Bill England issued the following statement in response to the Department of Health and Human Service’s announcement that the average Pennsylvanian pays just a $60 premium for a silver plan through the Affordable Care Act. 

“Today’s announcement proves what we’ve been telling the uninsured throughout the enrollment process – these plans are quality and affordable. In fact, 68% of Pennsylvanians who enrolled through the Affordable Care Act are now paying less than $100 per month for a plan that covers preventative care, emergency room visits, prescription drugs, and much more. This is the information that the Get Covered America campaign is working to spread, and we know that public education plays a key role in helping uninsured Pennsylvanians statewide take advantage of their new coverage opportunities.”
