How can you believe someone who says their deductible is $9-10 thousand when the ACA put limits on deductibles? Somewhere around $6K.

You can have an HSA and High deductible plan and they have different numbers.
Over 13 million have a combination HSA/HDHP plan.

It looks like I'm one of the few still based in reality.

Go ahead, tell me there aren't any $0 plans around.

Nope, I'm just here to share a hilarious article with everyone else who knew these things would happen:

New challenge for Obamacare: Enrollees who don

So could you staunch defenders stop the reflexive defense of this nasty worsening of our lousy system, and get to work on some things that will actually improve the situation?

Our HR lady just gave us a sneak peek at the 2015 rates. It will be the biggest change ever to our plans. No more gold no deductible plans. My monthly premium jumps from $85 to over $200 a month or even more if I don't pass a wellness exam. Thanks Obama!!

Yep, there are a few $0 deductible plans.

Where'd you come up with Ocare getting rid of high deductible plans ? Unless you think $3,4,5,6 k deductibles are low.

If you're not getting insurance through your employer, well, I don't know anything about that.


If you ARE getting insurance through your job, well, you should get another job! Quit whining! Just get a job that offers good health insurance!

Whining Conservatives! Probably lying about their insurance, anyway.
What a damn stupid response. I'm self-employed, genius. Learn something before you speak otherwise you simply look and act the fool.

Edited to add that the rest of your posts since this one have proven that.
