ProPublica has launched a web app that allows consumers – and journalists – to look up their current plan to see how premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket costs will change next year, or compare all 2015 plans offered in an area.
Some websites and apps can estimate costs of various health plans in the new insurance exchanges. Some are better than others. The Kaiser Family Foundation has a calculator. Zeke Emanuel and Andrew Steinmetz wrote this op-ed describing two fairly sophisticated calculators that do a whole lot of what HealthCare.gov is supposed to do (calculating and shopping options but not all the verification that the government site has to do). One is on the website of Steve Morse. The other is called Value Penguin.
