Re: Affordable Care Act

Our deductible is 6350.00 with a monthly premium of 644.00. Barb can go in for one treatment and that would knock out the deductible. Im still trying to get my mind around why the premium had to increase so much. If the insurance industry cant discriminate against preexisting conditions how do they justify doubling our premium. Is it simply that now they anticipate more in claims?
