New Yorkers worried about plan costs during ACA open enrollment

New Yorkers have cost concerns ahead of this year's Affordable Care Act open enrollment period. Plan prices only increased after Congress failed to renew Affordable Care Act subsidies last year. Data from the healthcare research organization KFF show Empire State plans are far higher than the national average and the trend is continuing. In July, 400,000 New Yorkers lost Essential Plan coverage. Elisabeth Benjamin, vice president of health initiatives for the Community Service Society of New York, said more people are choosing Bronze plans with high deductibles. "Those plans have really high deductibles, and that means they’re worst-case-scenario plans, if you will. I think it means more and more people are delaying or deferring care they otherwise would really need to get to keep them healthy," Benjamin explained. She added working with a navigator can help a person determine if they’re eligible for more financial assistance. Other plan details Benjamin suggested people keep top of mind are whether their doctor, hospital and medications are included in the plan they purchase. Experts note forgoing medical care can be more expensive in the long run, given costs are going up across the board. Open enrollment for Affordable Care Act plans starts Nov.
