I just recently after moving back to the US had to sign up for an ACA plan. For my family I pay about $250/month only to find that our annual deductible is over $9000, meaning I have to spend an additional $750/month on health care just to for the insurance to pay 40% of the bill. I need to find a new solution or we'd just need to resign ourselves to never seeing the doctor.

Where did you move from? I'm sorry you have to be subjected to our "heath care" system that essentially functions as a machine that draws money from the arms of the well to do and turns the poor into blood.

Great analogy! We were living in Thailand and we luckily just paid for care when we needed it, which for us was very affordable.
