my deductible went up from $3500 to $5000
How does someone ever meet that, unless they are chronically sick?

last year was a relatively expensive year for us and we only spent $2000
luckily my employer puts in $4000 every year...so my medical expenses are really $0
I'm lucky

You are privileged. And should feel bad.

Family. My employer pays about $1400 for their part.

It is the single worst piece of legislation ever ... voted on by only Democrats who had not even read it ... and, to this day, have probably never read it.
It's sole purpose is to redistribute wealth, subsidize lazy, poor minorities, and ensure that good, working, honest people pay much more ... for increasingly substandard healthcare.
Bottom line: people are paying more for less (under threat of penalty) and, as a result, their quality of life is suffering.

Bc its not fair to the person who does pay health insurance.
Fiance had to be rushed to ER for heart issues, had health insurance. Bills out the arse even after insurance. A kid same situation came in not even 2 weeks later, no health insurance. Didn't have to pay a dime.
This is why I think everyone should be required to have health insurance. Granted Obamacare is a mess and should be fixed.
From what I have gathered if you lived in a urban area your premiums stayed the same. If you lived in a rural area your premiums went up. My dads went up a shite ton with obamacare.

Nearly identical coverage, non smoker, no extreme medical history, healthy, early thirties. Thank you Obama, Reid, Pelosi, their ilk, and every single one of you frickers who voted for those assholes.

We've met ours twice in the last 5 years. Son breaking leg and displacing 4 teeth in a sports accident 1st time and my auto accident last year each hit that and a lot more. But thats what high deductible plans are for, to pay for catastrophic or significant medical events.
We have an HSA high deductible plan as well, and while my premiums haven't gone up the company's have more than doubled. Just a matter of time before the company doesn't have a choice to pass some of that burden on.

Elective surgeries at my hospitals are down BIGLY.

My premiums went up, and as others have mentioned I pay thousands a year for something that I rarely use, and when I do nothing is covered.
I won't be the first to say the program is flawed, but I will say it. I would've liked to see it be more socialized medicine, but I realize that is not a popular view.
As I understand it, one of its main goals was to get uninsured Americans into the system, and it did accomplished that. If president Trump can build on the core of the ACA and improve it, I will be applauding him for it. I do not see a benefit in tearing it down and starting it over, nor going back to the way it was.

It's going so well for Humana that they announced earlier tjis week that will drop out of the exchanges by the end of this year......so if you like your Humana plan, you won't get to keep it.

My original plan was dropped and when I picked up new coverage it was double the price. When I checked the Obamacare plans they were so expensive Id have to sell a kidney.
