Data Point – Obamacare Deductibles

From Heritage:

Obacare Deductible Costs

So, if you have a Bronze plan in a four person family, your total family deduction could be $18,468 on an individual basis in the aggregate.  I have seen the number of $12,700 for the actual max family deduction at this “metal level”.  Still, how many middle class families can afford that when the premiums are $500 – $1,200 / month?  That is a total outlay of $18,700 to $12,700 PER year – how many middle class families can do that?  Affordable?

No.  Effectively this is stripping away the necessary healthcare from kids & parents when things go south.  Sure, the “preventative” procedures may be free (as declared by a top down committee from a far off set of bureaucrats), but those are of no use when actual illness occurs.  Determined Weakness – this Obama Administration / Progressive policy “to help” won’t help, it only strips money from one group to give to another and leaves the former naked in terms of usable coverage.
