By law, they can't be higher deductible than a "Bronze" plan. Total annual exposure < $7K. If you are seeing anything different, I'd love to know. My existing plan was $7.5K deductible, total exposure < $20K annually. AFAIK, such plans can now only be offered by a company who is 100% out of the exchange, and even then, since such plans don't meet the minimum guidelines (a Bronze plan), from the point of the "fine" or "tax" I'd still be subject to that even if I do find a provider who can sell the policy. So there will now be few if any plans such plans to choose from (which drives up the price) plus I'd pay the fine as well.
