Deductibles have been going up since the invention of HMO's. The idea the rate of increase had increased under PPACA is nonsense. If you want to complain about PPACA, complain about it expanding a greedy for-profit pay per procedure and pillpopping regime that pretends to be a a product. That system should be destroyed. Is immoral and has low efficacy compared to all other industrialized and civilized alternatives, whether public, or hybrid.
