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

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.
