I have Obamacare, use it, and don't have 5-6k deductibles. The only ACA policies that feature that are the cheapest, catastrophic coverage polices. I can't wait to watch the tantrums as they try to kill Obamacare during the next two years. I am cooking the popcorn now. Yet another (R) lie. Of course. R pols rarely tell the truth. If they did, they would never win another election.

NOPE, Nobody can make this crap up! Why do you libtards have to LIE so damn much, all in one post at that? How can a 5 or 6K deductible be a (R) lie, if you say "cheapest, catastrophic coverage polices" have the 5-6K deductible. Are you a total moron like obama, or just a pathetic little LIAR hoping not to get caught, or are you just plain fucking stupid?

WASHINGTON — For months, the Obama administration has heralded the low premiums of medical insurance policies on sale in the insurance exchanges created by the new health law. But as consumers dig into the details, they are finding that the deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs are often much higher than what is typical in employer-sponsored health plans. Until now, it was almost impossible for people using the federal health care website to see the deductible amounts, which consumers pay before coverage kicks in. But federal officials finally relented last week and added a “window shopping” feature that displays data on deductibles. For policies offered in the federal exchange, as in many states, the annual deductible often tops $5,000 for an individual and $10,000 for a couple. Insurers devised the new policies on the assumption that consumers would pick a plan based mainly on price, as reflected in the premium. But insurance plans with lower premiums generally have higher deductibles. In El Paso, Tex., for example, for a husband and wife both age 35, one of the cheapest plans on the federal exchange, offered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield, has a premium less than $300 a month, but the annual deductible is more than $12,000. For a 45-year-old couple seeking insurance on the federal exchange in Saginaw, Mich., a policy with a premium of $515 a month has a deductible of $10,000.

On California’s state-run exchange site, the standard low-premium “bronze” plan carries a $5,000 deductible per person, a $60 co-pay to see a doctor and a 30 percent fee, known as coinsurance, on hospital care. In Rhode Island, Blue Cross Blue Shield’s bronze plan has a $5,800 deductible while Missouri’s U.S.-run exchange offers plans by Anthem Blue Cross with the maximum-allowable $6,350 in out-of-pocket costs.
