Yes, I read,
"...average Bronze plan for a 40 year old is $226..."
meaning that 40 year old would pay over $9k a year before receiving any benefits.
How much should a basic high deductible plan cost? In your opinion.
Several years ago I had HD plans for a family of four.
Yearly premium was almost $600.
I didn't have an issue paying cash for a Dr appt or a mammogram.
I certainly didn't run myself to the ER to get 'free' care.
I planned for the possibility of catastrophic episodes and needing to pay the HD.
The point is, this is what I chose for my family.
Can't find that choice now.
