“My brother’s deductible went up to $2500, basically he has no health care...”

Not the same thing at all. He just has to pay the first $2500 of APPROVED health care costs annually.

Does he not also have an underlying health plan whose rates physicians have agreed to accept?

My deductible is at $5000.

Yes, Health Insurance Co. scumbags.

Call us scumbags but we had to increase the co-pay to keep insurance.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

You are an insurance company???

I am a small business owner, our health insurance premiums for our employees went up 30% this year.

Yes, insurance companies are scum.

[therut]

No. Small business owner. Had to raise the deductable to keep insurance for our employees. It has been a bad year. Physician small group. Government has hurt our cash flow by holding our Medicare checks 3 times so far this year. And we CAN NOT pass on our costs to our patients. We are price controlled by .gov and insurance companies.
