Adults with low or moderate incomes were more likely to say it was easy to find an affordable plan than were adults with higher incomes. Adults with low or moderate incomes who purchased a plan through the marketplaces this year have similar premium costs and deductibles as adults in the same income ranges with employer-provided coverage. A majority of adults with marketplace coverage gave high ratings to their insurance and were confident in their ability to afford the care they need when sick. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.commonwealthfund.org\/publications\/issue-briefs\/2014\/sep\/affordable-coverage-marketplace\">Are Americans Finding Affordable Coverage in the Health Insurance Marketplaces? &#8211; The Commonwealth Fund<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some good graphics and a chart pack on this topic.
