(firmenpresse) - MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/02/15 -- HealthPocket released a study this morning analyzing newly available government data on the 2016 Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance market.

Bronze plans average premium: 11 percent increase
Silver plans average premium: 10 percent increase
Gold plans average premium: 14 percent increase
Platinum plans average premium: 16 percent increase
The 2016 average individual and family medical deductibles are higher for bronze and silver plans as compared to 2015 but lower for gold and platinum plans.
Bronze plan average deductible: $5,731 individual/$11,601 family
Silver plan average deductible: $3,117 individual/$6,480 family
Gold plan average deductible: $1,165 individual/$2,535 family
Platinum plan average deductible: $233 individual/$468 family
Increases in the average cap on annual out-of-pocket costs were also observed for bronze, silver, gold, and platinum plans.
