Oct 2013

Bronze plan, single 47 yo nonsmoking female.
No subsidies available due to income.
$230/mo (which I could handle) plus $6,000 annual deductible. $50 office calls, 40% co-pay.

Unless I lose a limb or a major organ I would never meet that deductible.
And even if I met it, there's no way I could pay it.
