Next year, they will move us to a “High Deductible” plan. That will mean $3,000 more or so out of my pocket next year.

When Republicans advocated high deductible plans coupled with $5,000 (or more) tax free Medical Savings Accounts, Democrats hit the roof about "unfairness" and "insurance company profiteering" and implied Americans were too stupid to save enough of their own money to cover the deductibles.

Now that Obamacare is forcing the unsubsidized middle class onto the same type of $5,000 deductible plans and limiting them to only $2,500 MSA's, that is called "fundamental fairness"...even though those so-called evil insurance companies are profiting handsomely from the law.

The only difference being that Obamacare increases dependency on government, whereas the Republican proposals might have reduced it somewhat.

Yup, Obamacare is Third Position/Fascist command economics.

Gvt calls the shots, determines the winners and the losers while the means of delivery remain in private hands.

By design. Enriching Big Health was critical to winning their acquiessance to Obamacare.
