Yikes is right. (I’m the person in the story…) Our plan last year had something like a $3,200 deductible and $7,000 out of pocket max per individual ($14,000 per family.) Prescriptions were covered 60% once we met the deductible and then 'free" after the out of pocket max. Unfortunately between my daughter’s diabetes and my husband had a hospitalization last year we met our full $14,000 family out of pocket max (plus the $13k in premiums.) A silver level ACA plan here in MN. Needless to say, I would be happy to pay quite a bit higher taxes for a singlepayer system. We don’t earn a lot of money and last year was very difficult with all those healthcare costs.
