The uncertainty is incredibly annoying.
I've resorted to picking my plan based primarily on MOOP. (Maximum out of pocket expense.) It works out to be about $1000, maximum, per person per month for childless adults. I simply don't have time for price research.
That's the raw cost of the plan before subsidies or work benefits. It's a sort of "maximum that any American would pay" and is comparable to the $300 per month that countries with universal healthcare pay in taxes (rough number, it varies).
Obviously, if you go without healthcare and get cancer or a catestrophic injury, you can expect to go bankrupt.
