I imagine it's the latter.

(47,675 posts)The cost for the "premium" plan is so much more that the "maximum out of pocket" for the lesser plan is a better deal. I've hit that level a few times with hospital stays, but that's a net-net. If we got the premium plan, we'd be paying for something that might not happen. It doesn't make sense.

(68,644 posts)Hi deductibles where you have to spend $5K before you get coverage encourage never go to the doctor and pray that nothing major ever happens.
It's not the model that insurance is meant to develop.
Amazing how downhill care and coverage have gone just since 2000, when our office offered full premium no copay whatever happens you got it coverage.

I bet the Obama team had this waiting. The Ryan plan was hung around the neck of Romney. Now Romney tightened the noose.

(13,039 posts)This will obfuscate the facts.
The Reagan Democrats and Moderates will move to the right on perceived distortion by the left.
Behind the scenes, the Koch's and Karl Rove will make Edward Bernays look like a piker all enabled by Fox News.
This will be very, very ugly which will turn moderates off even more.

(283 posts)Destroy Medicare, SSA, Federal Workers, Unions, No jobs. Holy Cow!! That's the GOP Agenda. Oh! I forgot they have to blast the President.
Nothing surprising on this announcement.

(662 posts)The GOP/TPARTY want to continue the failed economic policies that have been in place since 2000. Romney Hood has hitched his wagon to the Paul RYAN EXPRESS on a fast track to corporate hell and he US to join him. I would just like to decline. SS is the FEDERAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION ACT, it is not an entitlement. And Medicare is working and would even be cheaper if the repugs hadn't enacted a RX drug plan that was unapaid for. And Health CARE Reform was necessary for small businesses and workers because insurance companies were raising premiums 10 to 17% each year and becoming out of reach for middle class.
