Have you made plans for your Health Insurance deductible?

I've been browsing some of the comments from Twitters that I'm following, particularly the healthcare related ones. Many of the accounts dealing with the ACA are very complimentary and are actually bragging about how the country is so much better off now with millions more Americans able to afford insurance. I would have to say that it is a much better place because fellow Americans now have some form of health insurance. One of my prospective clients is considering an Obamacare plan for his ex-wife becuase he is now paying over $750 a month just for her. This is partly due to the fact that she has been diagnosed with hepatitis. If not for the insurance her medication would cost him another $1500/month. I have been assisting him in finding a more affordable plan for her without losing the prescription benefit. So far, no luck. There are certainly more affordable plans on healthcare.gov but that's all you can say about them. In this case, he could cut his monthly premium in half but the medication is not covered. His motivation for trying to find an option for her now is that his divorce decree stipulates that in one more year she will be responsbile for paying the insurance premium. He doesn't like the idea of her not being able to afford a decent plan on her own. His other dilemna is the deductible. For her to get ample coverage she would need to take on a $6300 deductible. OUCH! I would venture to say that a lot more Americans are facing the same dilemna. Yeah, get insurance now, but how do I pay for the deductible later? Most bankruptcies in this country consist of $15000 in medical bills. So definitely, deductibles are causing havoc on most families budgets. However, very few seem to consider how they're going to pay for this bill when it comes. It seems that in the past most were willing to play Russian roulette just to get affordable coverage. Time to pay the piper folks. Your health insurance deductible is not something to take lightly. Your best option is to research and find a plan that will minimize your deductible while providing supplemental coverage that provides a cash benefit to you that will help offset the deductible.
