I have insurance strictly for the emergency room. year over year my deductible and monthly rate have gone up.

I'm more bothered by doctors refusing to charge without insurance. My pcp used to charge 120 a visit, then they went through my insurance. Because I hadn't met my deductible the payment was now 650. I've seen pretty much every facet of medical care go up.

I'm not the healthiest, several neurological issues. But I'm primarily treated by eastern medicine. None of which is covered by my insurance. The budget I allocated for my treatment is now allocated to an insurance I use.

I was in a bike crash a couple of months ago without health insurance. The total was ~$4500 for urgent care on a Sunday, or about 10 months of ACA coverage.
