7 in 10 can still get a plan for less than $75, and 8 in 10 less than $100

2017 Open Enrollment for ObamaCare starts November 1st and 7 in 10 marketplace shoppers can still get prices as low $75, and 8 out of 10 less than $100!

Despite rate increases prices will remain low for those with access to subsidies due to the way cost assistance caps premiums by income, the poverty level, and the cost of a Second Lowest Cost Silver Plan in your region.

This means that, even though rate increase might hit some regions hard, in general marketplace customers can expect affordable prices under the Affordable Care Act.
