The deductible is $1,200 for singles, $2,400 for a family plan. Everything, including prescriptions, must be paid for out of pocket until the deductible is reached, and then we still have to pay for 20% of everything - major procedures, hospitalizations, and all.

Supposedly this is being done to save us money.
