A new study suggest in United states the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land, but it doesn't make health insurance affordable for everyone.
Researcher showed Older adults who earn just a little bit too much to qualify for federal premium subsidies are particularly vulnerable.
This group of adults faces "the biggest gap in affordability by far," said Ilana Graetz, assistant professor in the department of preventive medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis and the study's lead author.
Young adults face another quirk of the health-reform law, also known as Obamacare. Even after subsidies, young people often pay higher premiums than older adults, the study found.
Graetz said "The fact that they actually have to pay more with the subsidies is a little bit concerning and surprising,".
The study, published in the Sept. 9 online edition of Annals of Internal Medicine, after subside examines premium variations by age, income and region and the affordability of premiums .
