If you are a single mother with one child making $39,000 in Houston Texas, you'll pay almost $300 per month (after subsidies) for healthcare coverage and your deductible would be $12,700 per year.
Anybody who considers that affordable care is quite bonkers; it's essentially catastrophic insurance that you are forced to purchase.
You deductible figure is misleading. The 12,700 does not mean that you pay all expenses until the 12,700 is met. It means that you can not ever pay more than 12,700 in any one calendar year. For example if your dr. visits came to 100.00 you would pay 30.00 and the insurance would pay the rest. If you developed a form of cancer and required treatment, then the quarter million dollars worth of medical care you received would be capped at 12,700.
You make it sound like the person is paying 300 a month and doesn't get any reimbursement until they've spent 12,700 dollars.
Oh, one more thing. Based on your link, that 300.00 a month covered the woman and her 2 children. Actually not a bad deal.

That's my read on it too. Wait until people are kicked off of their employer sponsored plans and lose their employer contribution and have to pay the full freight. From what I've been able to tell, the cost of family coverage is going to be anywhere from $17-23k a year, including premium, the large deductible, and out of pocket maximums.

How many families can afford that every year?
Oh this will help people when they lose their jobs because the economy stinks even worse the 2008 and they are all for it.

You also used the silver plan which was about $3600 per year. The bronze plan was $1800 per year or $150 per month. We are talking insurance here, insuring against a catastrophe.
Actually it's the republicans who are counting on people not understanding. Almost every thread submitted by republicans on C-D is misleading, biased or down right untrue. Every posted thread by republicans is designed to mislead for the purpose to kill the ACA and hang the president from the nearest tree at the soonest possibility.
I would probably be speechless in surprise if there appeared one thread from a republican offering an actual PLAN on how to fix the economy, how to stop the health care crisis in the nation and how to stimulate the economy and jobs.
