CBPP hosted a webinar on 1/21 on the above topic. This is a very complex topic and CBPP presented a very useful analysis of this complex but very important topic.

The 1/21 webinar guides navigators and consumers on how to make comparisons between plans on premiums, deductibles, copays, etc. What I had not realized is that there are so many variables that one must consider in making such comparisons. I think this is very hard to do for a navigator let alone a consumer. I feel that a tool needs to be developed to make such comparisons easier for all and that it takes into account a consumers individual or family needs. I recommend that you review this webinar. Very well done but raises lots of concerns for me.
On Friday, I received the following from Washington Consumer Checkbook in answer to my concerns.
CHECKBOOK's Help for the New Health Insurance Marketplaces
This is the perfect answer to my concerns. Checkbook has been doing this kind of analysis on Federal Health Plans for many years and they have always provided extremely useful analyses. I am very grateful to them for this latest product.
