One of them is George Schwab of Charlotte, who pays $228 a month for his family’s $10,000 deductible plan from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.

As you heard many times out of the mouth of the king, you will be able to keep your current insurance. Well, I can keep my Blue Shield/Cross policy until next year then it is no longer going to offered. BS/BC suggest before the end of next year to check out the exchanges where they will offer insurance. Thank goodnss they are not raising the rates on me.
