The deductible is more like $6000 each ($1200 for both of them).
However the Obama media is leaving out one important item, while they have enrolled on the website, THEY DO NOT HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE! The payment system is not built yet, the subsidy amounts are not set yet, and the price of the insurance has not been determined.
It has been reported , but not widely, that the prices quoted on the ObamaRealyDoesCare website are low balled and the subsidy amounts are overstated. Remember it was just last month that we had the woman who's story Obama used on television about having affordable care after years without, that when she got the real price was unable to afford the insurance.
