Time To Abolish High-Deductible Health Plans

Time To Abolish High-Deductible Health Plans
SHARE

The American healthcare system has experienced a significant shift over the past fifteen years, with more individuals finding themselves enrolled in high deductible health plans. These plans require individuals to pay a substantial amount out-of-pocket before their insurance coverage kicks in. While these plans are meant to encourage people to be more mindful of their healthcare expenses, the reality is that they often leave individuals underinsured and struggling to afford necessary medical care.

In the past decade, the number of Americans enrolled in high deductible health plans has risen dramatically, with nearly half of individuals under 65 now covered by such plans. Employers have increasingly turned to these plans as a way to control healthcare costs, shifting the burden of expenses onto employees. This cost-shifting strategy not only places a financial strain on low and middle-income individuals but also leads many to forgo essential medical care due to the high out-of-pocket expenses.

The consequences of high deductible health plans can be particularly severe for individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes. When faced with high out-of-pocket costs, individuals may delay seeking medical attention for complications related to their condition, putting their health at risk. Research has shown that individuals in high deductible health plans receive fewer tests and screenings, which can ultimately lead to more serious health issues down the line.

It is clear that the shift towards high deductible health plans has had negative repercussions for both the financial and medical well-being of Americans. To address this issue, the federal government should consider policies to discourage employers from offering only high deductible plans, such as reducing tax breaks for companies that do so. Ultimately, Americans deserve insurance plans that provide comprehensive coverage and ensure that they are adequately protected in the event of illness or injury.
