I'm signing up for Obamacare

These Americans can't wait until they can apply for health insurance under the new state-based exchanges, scheduled to open for enrollment in October. For some with pre-existing conditions, there are no other options.

Looking to save money

  • Name: Carlos Gonzalez, 40
  • Job: Mortgage broker
  • Residence: Fairfax, Va.

I was paying $330 in premiums for all of us with my employer. As my employer changed carriers, the premiums started going up and up and up. I was paying $1,500 a month, which was really killing me. I had to do something.

Employers almost don't want you on their plans. They are almost pushing you out.

I'm currently paying $534 a month for two insurance plans -- one is for myself under my employer and one is for my wife and child through the same insurance company but on the individual market.

I'm really curious as to whether Obamacare will save me money once I apply for the program.
