Study: One Third Of Health Insurance Policies Could See Higher Premiums Next Year.
The Kaiser Health News report, "Consumers who buy their own health insurance will see the total amount they could pay out of pocket for medical care capped starting next year, but some will likely pay higher premiums as a result" of the Affordable Care Act. According to a study by HealthPocket, "currently, when deductibles are included, 36 percent of policies offered to individuals on the private market exceed that limit." For the study, the researchers "looked only at policies sold on the private market to individuals, who buy their own coverage because they don't get it through their jobs."
