You heard wrong. It's 5,000 dollars per year, or over 400 dollars per
month. -Dave

Well, the bill was supposed to save about $2500 per year in insurance
premiums. But the CBO estimated it would INCREASE premiums by $5000
per year. The actual cost will likely be much higher. -Dave

It's worse than that, actually. You pay exactly what the insurance
companies want PERIOD, but for a higher level of coverage as specified
in the bill.
Everybody will have to switch plans from whatever they currently have,
to a much more expensive plan. (assuming you already have private
health insurance) -Dave
