"...Increasingly, experts in health insurance are becoming concerned that many of these first-time buyers will be in for a shock when they get medical care next year and discover they're on the hook for most of the initial cost....
...Hospitals are worried that those who rack up uncovered medical bills next year won't be able to pay them, perpetuating one of the problems the new health care system is supposed to solve.....
..."The real big surprise was how much out-of-pocket would be required for our family," said David Winebrenner, 46, a financial adviser in Lebanon, Ky., whose deductible topped $12,000 for a family of six for a silver plan he was considering. The monthly premium: $1,400.....
...Fearing the sticker shock, Loyola University Health System in Chicago is offering payment plans to spread the out-of-pocket costs.
Some who had private insurance policies that were canceled may find that keeping the same deductibles may mean higher premiums.
In California, Diane Agnone complained in an online post on her state's health marketplace. "How is this affordable? I am a healthy 62-year-old single woman and these new premiums will cost me over $200 more per month than my existing plan.".........

“If you like your health care plan, you can keep it”
“If you like your doctor, you can keep him”
“Obamacare with cost $2500 less per family”
The major lies are eventually going to add up... I hope this guy is so doomed he has to resign
Don't hold your breath on it. Too many people have a vested interest in ensuring he stays until the very end.
“I hope this guy is so doomed he has to resign”
I don’t want him to resign. I want him in jail for fraud and treason.
Banks and the Feds will step in and make medical deductible loans available for a small interest fee of course and make these loans exempt from bankruptcy filings like the student loans!
The sheering of the sheep continues!
Amnesty
Gun Registration
Gun Confiscation
Massive Ammo Taxes
Banned Ammo (lead)
Assessment Fees on IRAs, 401Ks, Private Retirement Pensions
1st Amendment Exemptions (hate speech, thought, writing)
Federal Taxes on private transportation
Federal Taxes on single family homes
The list could actually go on forever.
The best part of this is that people's first visits of the year will be spread out over time so that every month (every week?) we will hear from friends who just had to pay their first huge deductible or copay under the ObamaCare abomination.
Do you remember the stories leading up to the roll out? “Premiums will be lower than expected.” LOL. The only good in all of this is, maybe, some people will wake up and figure out the media has been lying to them.
That this article appeared at all in the Houston Carbuncle is miraculous in and of itself. Their censors must have been alseep.
Instead of paying $1,000 per month, people will only have to pay $250 per week! /sarc
$12,000 deductible you might as well have no insurance at all. Basically you are paying $1,400 a month for nothing. What a deal. Insurance companies get premiums and don’t have to pay anything out.....except for the free riders.
OBAMA""No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.”
Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
Serial ObamaCare fibs make the President the year’s biggest liar.... three of the year's most outrageous lies were laid at the door of the WH.
Now O/Care was merely an extension of Conman Boobamba's MO--- figured he could get away w/ repeated lies about O/care---like keeping your plan, and your doctor.....
.......and "saving $2500"....THE biggest line a sitting president ever fed to the American elctorate (said as a re-election ploy---to regain power).
=================================================
We need investigations into Obama's Chicago activities when he duped gullible people on welfare, food stamps and SSI.... conning them into believing they could payoff mortgages.
Valerie Jarrett was a Chicago slumlord at the time. What was her involvement in sub-prime mtges?
Community organizer Bammy sued banks to get subprime mtges------the same banks he's now suing for "predator lending"---b/c they burdened the poor with mtges they can't possibly payoff.
======================================================
Investigations need to commence ASAP into the Chicago "community organizer's" and his associates' activities.
I think his secret service needs to protect him from his own party. His usefulness may be running out except as a martyr...especially if they can blame the right.
At least he knows that he must budget about $30K for the first year's medical bills....Before that, he probably had no idea of an exact amount - it could have been any where form $6K to $15K a year...oh, wait...
Why is this a surprise?!? A little basic math and some surface digging by the media would have revealed this in 2010 when this steaming pile was shoved thru congress. I don't know of one person who even casually listens to conservative radio who's stunned by this. It's only the MSM and the lemmings who voted for 0boober who are shocked by this. The sad part is many of these are still in denial.
The more bothersome lie is the “better insurance” lie.
In fact O’care does NOT cover the test and procedures consumers need and want.
It DOES cover things the consumer DOES NOT need or want!
Sex changes, pregnancy for those incapable of conceiving, etc.
What a 12K deductible means is that this is just a bare-bones catastrophic health insurance policy. The only difference is that pre-ACA catastrophic policies didn’t cost $1400.00 a month.
Watch closely, the deductible-financing will be made to be non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, just like student loans.
We’re all just plump sheep waiting to be sheered.
