Consumers Face Higher Deductibles Under Obamacare Plans

Now that more individuals are able to enroll in plans through the improved Obamacare website, they are discovering that the lower insurance premiums mean more out-of-pocket costs that many may not be able to afford.

The deductibles are averaging $5,081 per year for the minimal coverage Bronze plans on the HealthCare.gov website in 34 of the 36 states on the federal exchange. That's 42 percent higher than the $3,589 deductible individual plans in 2013. For a couple or a family, deductibles may be as high as $12,700, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Can't help but laugh over the outrage coming from the left over this...not that it is "funny"--we are all getting screwed, but you idiots got what you voted for...now choke on it. The only way to save the country from this horrible legislation is to get rid of it...not to mention the socialist in the White House.
