I think you may be right. The deductible is probably higher and I would guess so are the co-pays. My best friend sells health insurance for BCBS of SC and he says he hasn't seen a single person save money in switching unless they give up some benefits.

The exchange platinum plan is definitely not as good as my current group (group of 1) policy. I see the main difference in having "co-insurance" payments on many services, including diagnostics. Even if there is a cap ,all this being new to me. I'd prefer to keep my current plan. I could extend my current policy for 3 months into the new year, but I might as well get with the program, as it will be the only one offered soon enough. I can't do better than to board the train with a platinum ticket, take the ride and hope my metal on metal hips last another 10 years.
