Data Point – Obamacare Deductibles

by

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.

As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
