<prompt> Human: Hi guys;My parents moved to California last week on a green card I live nowhere near them and since my English is better Im applying to Covered California for them.My parents are both around 60 but under 65, and my father receives a pension from a foreign country of 30,000 a year, and I went in to choose their plans, the cheapest option was 1,000 a month! Theres no way my parents will be able to afford that.Is this a typical rate? I am oblivious about the American health care system, and am getting very worried about their situation.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.  <response>: Using the following inputs 2 adults, each aged 62, 30,000 annual income, zip code 91607 returned 9 plans in the Silver tier from 7 stores. For people their age, you really dont want a lower tier of coverage unless they have substantial liquid assets they wont need in the future for anything else other than medical bills, ever.Pricing is down to the zip code level, though, so it will vary somewhat between southernnorthern CA, coastalinland CA. The estimated monthly tax credit is 1,070.00.The lowest monthly cover charge is sold by MOH for 81.70.The highest monthly cover charge is sold by ANTM for 821.18.So, yeah, without a tax credit, health insurance will cost your parents anywhere from 1000 to 1800 per month in premiums alone for coverage.
