I admit, at first it seems like alot to pay for, but there is a chance for some big savings as well. These plans are usually accomodated by a HSA, HRA, or FSA, into which you put a certain amout pretax, and said money can be used to pay for medical expenses, or go towards your deductible. It saves the company money, which in the long run, lets you keep your job, which is nice in this economy. And even though you have to pay everything up to your agreed deductible amount, everything after is covered, with perameters of your plan. Another bonus is that, if you use the Doctor infrequently, the money in HSA, is your money,and it accumulates. If you leave the job, that money is still yours. There are pros and cons to every situation. I have posted a couple links I found to be very useful. I hope they help in your search for info. http://highdeductiblehealthplan.blogspot.com/ Ive been doing alot of reading about these high deductible health plan lately as Im about to obtain one through my job.
