Used to be that a $10,000 deductible plan would cost an entire family about $2100 a year.
When I first retires we paid $1700 for a $5000 deductible policy. Last year 0-care was $26k for $12k deductible.
You are right. Before I went on Medicare, I was paying over $14,000 a year for my coverage, with a $10,000 deductible. That was for ONE person here in SC.
