I’m in North Carolina. The only individual policy provider is Blue Cross Blue Shield. For me and my husband (non smokers, ages in late 50s) our combined premium is 2300 per month with 5000 deductible each. Can’t wait to see what our increase for next year is.

Dreadful.
Silly question——is the $5000.00 deductible annual?
.
“I’m in North Carolina.”
I’m also in NC. Early 60’s. Monthly premium for bronze plan is $2150. Deductible for each of us $7150 and the plan stacks them so we have to meet the combined deductible before the plan pays. Before every year since O’care started our insurer has dropped out of the market and we’ve had to buy from a new insurer.
Prior to O’care we had a catastrophic plan with Aetna. Our monthly premium was $630 and our deductible was $5000 each, not stacked. The catastrophic plan paid 100% after the deductible was met.
My two GOP Senators and GOP Congresswomen aren’t lifting a finger and Trump isn’t lifting a finger to address the situation because we who are paying the full boat are subsidizing others. It is a hidden tax we cannot deduct.
Unfortunately I believed at one time the Republicans would repeal O’care if they took control of both houses of Congress and the executive branch. Now it is clear to me they have no intention of repealing and are happy with the $25,000 a year in premiums I’m paying. I will vote accordingly going forward. Since I have only one choice, Blue Cross, I’m already on single payer. Better to vote for Democrats who will require everyone to move to single payer and share my pain at a lower cost than to continue with the current situation.
So you are out at least $32,600.00 per year with nothing to show for it.
Health insurance is a scam.
