Deductibles are getting up there though.
With what I see with Anthem (we were with them in 2007 before switching), rates already increased on one employee, and they already have a higher deductibles. The employee has to worry about his non-formulary co-pays. They are currently at $40, but with other policies offered they could be as high as $80. Expensive for his oldest on his needed monthly medicine.

Well, at least with kids under 18, the insurance companies can no longer do lifetime caps or kick kids off completely for pre-existings. Although it doesn't mean they won't manipulate the heck out of things, until the 2014 80% reinvestment rule (must spend on policy holders) for the company kicks in.
We are a crazy country. I completely fail to understand why we can't go to a public option, why people are against that?
