Re: deductibles

When I was between jobs and had to get my own insurance (my previous employer was too small for COBRA), I made a spreadsheet of various plans on Healthcare.gov in the range I figured I wanted. I put down how much I'd be paying in premiums, what the detuctibe was, out-of-pocket maximums, co-pays (if applicable), and other info like drug plans. I calculated the absolute maximum I'd pay in a year for each plan and the "realistic" amount I'd be likely to pay in a typical year (I rarely need to go to the doctor outside of routine stuff). I was able to discount a lot of plans right away because they cost more without offering more or didn't have things I wanted.

It came down to two plans: one that had a lower maximum possible cost but lower typical cost and one that had a lower typical cost but higher maximum cost. I chose the latter, because, again, I'm not likely to exceed the estimated typical cost by much but I could still manage the maximum cost if it came to that.
