Obamacare Sticker Shock. According to new government data the average cost of a mid-tier “Silver” health-insurance plan under Obamacare will be $328 a month. The Silver plan is the second to the lowest costing plan. The cost does not include the $2,000 deductible or the insurance co-pays. The three states with the highest uninsured population includes California where the average plan will cost $373, Florida where a plan will cost $328 and Texas where the silver plan will cost $305 a month. Recent data also shows that younger people who generally are healthy thereby using less medical services will be stuck with the bill, by subsidizing the elderly. People will be able to purchase insurance from the exchanges starting on October 1. , Insurers that intend to sell plans on exchanges include Aetna (AET), Humana (HUM), Molina Healthcare (MOH), UnitedHealth (UNH) and WellPoint (WLP).
