Would it be more cost effective to buy a catastrophic insurance policy and self-insure (pay cash) for routine services?

Under ACA medical plans deductibles are capped at "For 2017, your out-of-pocket maximum can be no more than $7,150 for an individual plan and $14,300 for a family plan before marketplace subsidies."[1]

Not sure if only plans in the ACA system must meet this requirement or that private companies cannot even offer say a $50,000 deductible plan with a $3 mil cap.

Probably the option we'll explore when reviewing plans. Or go back to work for a company which provides coverage as part of the employment package.
