While your point about pre-existing conditions is true, it's worse now. 3 months before ACA, I looked for an insurance plan because I was going to start my own company and we wondered if it would be cheaper than my wive's company plan. We found a $250/month $5,000 deductible plan with no co-pays (I'm fine with that). Her plan is $350. Idea was to get this plan, then add $100 to HSA (same cost but with added value). ACA comes along. Same-ish plan (ACA required more crap than we wanted) jumped to $550 without the HSA contribution. Now it's $712.
edit: spelling.

- st3v3r 10y agoThe reason it was lower is because your pre-existing condition simply wouldn't be covered, and just about any other claim would be initially denied, citing the pre-existing condition as a reason. Now that's not an option.
