    Prescriptions are covered.

    Copays will be more expensive for the average person.

    Deductibles will also be higher for the average person.

    Premiums will be lower for the average person.

    In the end it's a wash.

    Nothing has changed with the exception to the insurance companies and your policy premiums are not guaranteed either, wait for the crap they feed you about the cost of living. OMG! I thought you knew this.

    Stamps, once upon a time were super cheap like less than a dime, then up a penny here and there, and I don't need to tell you the cost of a stamp today; think of that in dollars with Obama's offering.

    "Obamacare" doesn't cover anything, because it is not a health insurance plan. It is simply a mandate that you have health insurance. If you don't already have coverage, you can go to the exchange for your state, compare policies, and choose one to purchase based on coverage and price.

    My insurance is going up a whole 11 dollars a month, big whoop. My co-pay went down 15 dollars. Depending on what plan you get it will determine what you pay. It is best to get generic medicines as the co pay is smaller.

    There is no such plan as ObamaCare. It is a made up term to give the impression of a single payer or government operated health plan. Neither is the case. What is covered and the amount of copays depends on the insurance policy you buy.

    Yes, the Affordable Care Act does cover prescriptions, depending on which plan you choose.

    That depends on which level of coverage YOU decide you want/need/can afford. Once the online marketplace is debugged and working more smoothly, it should be easy to go to your state's marketplace and select what coverage YOU want! Won't that be nice? I think so!

    there is no plan called "obamacare"..when you purchase insurance through the exchanges, you will pick a plan that covers what you want.

    No. In fact, copays and deductibles are going UP because of Obamacare.
