LOL, I guess that is one of the reasons I don't do FB! My wife enjoys it but it is not for me . . . .
You ought to see the thread on weartv page going on right now about obamacare. So many misinformed and some just outright lying. I almost had to post but I don't there. One woman stated that her deductible was $10,000 to $20,000.
That is entirely possible with many of the low priced policies.
Many folks have lost their insurance and are unable to afford insurance so they are forced into no coverage and paying the tax penalty.
Not paying much attention are you?
Sorry but it is absolutely impossible to have a compliant health plan with a deductible like she stated. She outright lied, which now makes me think you use a different persona on FB and it was probably you.
$10,000.00 might be a bit of a stretch, I don't know about all parts of the country. But if all you can afford is the Copper plan, over $6,000 might as well be $100,000. for all it's use.
Another ObamaCare Shock Is Coming: 2016 Deductibles
Investor's Business Daily - Fri Oct 09, 4:42PM CDT
ObamaCare costs will jump next year for exchange customers, one way or the other. Premiums are set to spike by more than 20% in at least 16 states. But, for many, the real sticker shock will be soaring deductibles that mean they'll get few benefits until they've racked up huge bills.
Low-end bronze plans have deductibles hitting $6,850 in 2016. Now insurers are hiking silver-plan deductibles as high as $6,500 as a way to keep a lid on premiums. The downside isn't just more out-of-pocket costs for patients; it also will have a ripple effect of reducing taxpayer subsidies for cheaper plans.
Take Indiana, where average premiums are set to rise just under 1% on average, tied for the lowest in the nation, according to ACASignups.net. The cheapest silver plan in Indianapolis will actually fall by 6%, but that doesn't necessarily mean customers will get a better deal.
This year's cheapest silver plan, from CareSource, has a $3,500 deductible. But in 2016 the cheapest plan, from Ambetter, will have a $6,500 deductible -- an 86% jump.
Nationally, individual market premiums will rise 12.5% on average, according to an analysis by Charles Gaba of ACASignups.net. Yet customers in many states will be able to avoid big premium hikes by switching plans. That's because some of the biggest increases are coming from plans that attracted a lot of customers by setting rates too low to cover the medical costs.
