Quoted from another thread :

I have to try to make it with this one & the one my brother is sending me for another 2 years before I am eligible Medicare and then maybe I can afford a new sleep study & new machine if I can meet that deductible. My deductible for health insurance with my employer went sky high with Obamacare.
If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

Consider the possibility that the deductible would have gone sky high anyway. It's been heading in that direction for years. Insurance costs have rocketed for everyone and would have no matter who was in office.

She or He or It, does have a point, Obama's Zero Inflation Rate, which in the real world is closer to 20 to 25% of loss of purchase power for the U.S. Dollar just in the last year, would mean your ins rates would go up.

Add to that, the Obama windfall for cronies in the health ins lobbies, added a little to your bill, then the inefficiencies of changes of the way medical treatment is handled. But on the good side illegal aliens, have better health care than you can afford, well maybe that's not true, before they had the ER, and could skip out on the bill, so basically their's was free before it became free.

The answer is to raise the minimum wage, to $15 per hour to put the WRONG sandwich in a bag, and run a check out machine with pictures on the keys, and maybe international symbols, because they won't speak English. I don't see a problem here, do you? Jim

For some reason I wonder if the insurance had to be redone to "align" the coverage with the new requirements and someone in management found out how much less money it would cost for a high deductible plan. Cash incentive and something else to blame. Call me a sceptic.
