It seems like all the plans are great until you use them. If you're on bronze, you can't use it until you've paid the huge deductible. If you're on higher plans, you've already paid in so much, and then you have to pay more. I thought there was a out of pocket maximum that would prevent bankruptcy?
I hate insurance. I've always hated having to fight them tooth and nail for everything and losing most of the time. I don't want to buy insurance from a predatory company. That is why I want to buy medicare or a state-run single payer. I don't know who these people are that love their insurance company so much because I have yet to meet one.

Hell, it's a part of TRICARE, too! And if you go "out of network" you're paying for the privilege.

While I'm not against single payer, I think there is a seriously false premise here

It's actually the mix of the deductibles and the percentage reimbursement levels.
