This is a shame. I remember paying $290 a month in the early 2000's with no deductible / 100% coverage! I also had dozens of insurance companies to choose from. They need to let competition back in. No competition= stupid high prices and the screw you high deductible plans.

Also with a deductible that high you mind as well go uninsured unless you regularly spend 9,000 a year in health care. You will never end up using that coverage. I have kidney disease, hypermobility and spondylolisthesis and spend under $2,000 a year for care without insurance. Granted I'll have to get insurance once I need dialysis or back surgery... I'll figure that out when the time comes.
