People going in for health care treatment or to refill prescriptions are being hit by enormous up-front bills because of the rise of deductibles. Maximum out of pocket expenses are capped by Obamacare, but the cap is $7,150 for individual coverage, $14,300 for family coverage. Fewer and fewer health care plans are opting into the Obamacare exchange. At the same time, we need to stop tying health care insurance to employment. It will change the way we do business in the health care arena, but that would be a worthwhile endeavor.
