news, the capitol. while this was a one-man protest and not a filibuster, let's put that aside as the theater aspect of this. now to the reality. nearly everybody in this country will be required to have health insurance next year. today the white house provided the first look t at what the insurance might cost for people who buy it through one of the government exchanges that are new. tonight, nbc's tom costello has been looking at all the numbers. >> reporter: it's an all -out push to get the word out. the obama health care law is real and about to kick in. the government now running a contest seeking creative advertising to convince young people to buy insurance because they are critical to the program's success. beginning october 1, anyone who doesn't have insurance can sign up through an online marketplace called an exchange. >> starting tuesday they can go to one place where they can't be denied coverage. their premium can't be jacked up because they have a preexisting condition and the premiums will factor in tax credits they get to make the plans affordable. >> reporter: today the white house figures on what it might cost. there would be four levels of private health care coverage. bronze, silver, gold and platinum. each with varying deductibles and co-pays. on the silver plan a single 27-year-old earn ing $25,000 a year can ex expect to pay $145 a month after tax credits. a family of four earn ing $50,000 could pay $282 a month after tax credits. >> lower cost plans come with a lower premium but a higher deductible. people will have to make the trade-offs in calculations. >> reporter: the older you are and the more you earn the more you pay. no tax credits for individuals making more than $46,000 a year. the charge would depend on the insurance competition in your state. a 60-year-old woman in dallas earn ing $50,000 a year could pay $575 a month for silver coverage. the same person living in indianapolis would pay about $725 a month. critics say the program doesn't offer enough options to the uninsured and coverage may be too expensive. starting next week the uninsured can get insurance and will be required to keep it or pay a penalty. tom costello, nbc news, washington. >> for more on this we are joined by dr. nancy snyderman. we have people who understand this and you are one of them. we want to be a source of
