I hear you, why is it so much to ask for people to spend a few thousand a year on their own health. Insurance should be for wealth preservation, not to pay for every cut and bruise.

A few thousand a year for medical? That would be eaten up with one kid and a couple of busted teeth. Ya ever seen what a MRI, or broken arm costs? Simple on going treatment for nearly *anything* would break most people who've had their insurance made near worthless or completely eliminated. Don't even think about taking the family to a dentist.

I thought I read that Obamacare banned high deductible insurance plans, putting a maximum on the deductible that was just under what was required for an HSA.

Anyone else have a line on this?

I can afford to spend a few thousand a year on my healthcare.
What I can not afford is 25% of my entire earned income wages going towards insurance premiums, and paying out another 2K before my health “insurance” kicks in at an 80/20 or 70/30 split.

BTW, my insurance does not consider my affordable treatment at a local walk-in urgent care clinic to be part of my 2K annual deductible.

I could afford my own insurance premiums, if I didn't have to also pay for actual medical care for millions of “free” government medicare and medicaid patients,and lets not forget all the emergency room freeloaders, a large percentage of which are foreign illegal aliens.

As it now stands, if I need serious medical care, I am going to have to get it from the judicial system.
I've always been told if you want to commit a crime, best make it a federal one.
