Your annual all in is the price of a good midsize SUV with premium package.
So if you hit your deductible, it's like you bought a new car in that year.
And for that you can pay annual premiums that would net you another basic /mid range package for the same SUV identified by your deductible.
Basically, if you pay the premiums you bought 1 car in that year; if you also hit your deductible, you bought 2 cars in 1 year.
They are not deductibles anymore. You pay 20% of those procedures until you reach your deductible... Per calendar year.
Premium is high because income is high and family.
That's the base premium. I purposely put in that I make a million per year so that I'd see the true numbers.
But with that aside, are you actually DEFENDING these numbers?
Do you think it's acceptable for health insurance premiums to be like this?
No. They're not doable. At all.
I was just explaining the mechanics of the switch away from deductibles, where you pay in full for procedures until you reach your deductible. Now it's 20% of procedures until you reach your deductible, then you pay nothing. You also have an out-of-pocket maximum for the year.
That's all.
