A sweetheart deal?? Maybe it was just a plan that didnt cover the husband for maternal care and every other unnecessary thing in these plans

I just saw this. It seriously pisses me off that the cheapest private plan I could get had me paying 270 a month for crap coverage that I almost never used while a family of five got coverage that I assume was pretty decent based on the fact that the new plans cover less for $432 a month. I'm sorry your prices went up, but that was a sweetheart deal before if it was a private plan.

I apologize in advance for speaking bluntly, but you sir, are an uninformed and apparently willfully ignorant dumb-arse.

My plan was what my situation called for. I have savings. I can write a check to cover a deductible and 6/7 higher copays every year. Thus the market created a plan for me, what we colloquially call a Catastrophic plan. It has a high deductible, but costs very little on a reoccurring basis. Exactly what my wife and I wanted, and exactly what fit our particular period of life.

Now we get essentially THE SAME PLAN but with higher deductibles for $1055 A MONTH. The one that costed us $432 now costs us $1055. With higher deductibles.

A more comprehensive plan would cost us in the neighborhood of $1300- $1400 a month. Nobody in my family has any health risks or smokes. Go ahead, look it up-I provided a link in the OP. Or stay willfully ignorant and go to message boards and spout ignorant propaganda like "I seriously doubt that" and "sweetheart deal". It's people like you who suck the most, reasonably intelligent people who literally DENY FACT and just have an over-riding belief/hope that it will all just work out.
