Americans, long used to seeking bargains, look mostly at price when they're shopping for health insurance, a new survey shows.
More than half of those who looked but didn't buy anything on the new Obamacare exchanges said they couldn't find a plan they could afford, the survey found. And two-thirds who switched coverage said price was the main factor.
"Consistent with these findings, many adults opted for a limited network of doctors and hospitals in exchange for lower premiums," the report reads.
That's good news for those who could get subsidized plans on the exchanges, which are a way for people without employer-sponsored insurance to get decent coverage without necessarily paying the full premium all alone.
