(46,179 posts)That's not "skyrocketing." Since the ACA, they have literally skyrocketed.
My employer offers a choice of plans. I started off with the best plan; highest premium, lowest deductible. I've been downgrading every year, trying to stay within budget. I now have the CHEAPEST plan, which costs more than the most expensive used to. My employer pays twice as much for that premium than my son pays for the mortgage, taxes, and insurance for the house he just bought. Then I pay more. I've got the highest deductible going, which means that when I start getting the bills for last month's 4 trips to urgent care, I'll have to borrow money to pay them, because they won't be covered. That's the only time I've used the insurance; I can't afford to unless I can't function without immediate care.
