After a really bad beginning the MA Health Connector website is working almost as well as it was before all the ACA changes. The plans have larger out of packet maxes, but have cheaper premiums than before, particularly when you factor in the subsidy.
My goal is to keep my income around $35k, that will keep me comfortable and keep the tax bill down, and it also gives me a nice healthcare subsidy.
My choice is whether to buy a cadillac COBRA plan at $429 a month that has deductible of $250 and covers the vast majority of costs after that or go with an inexpensive Bronze plan that will cost me $169/month but has a $2000 deductible and a $6350 annual out of pocket max. I'm 52, and healthy. I did have out patient surgery 3 years ago to remove a pressure related cyst, but don't take any drugs and have good blood pressure.
