I’ve just been looking at the Covered California sight and it appears I don’t qualify for any tax credits (I’m single with good income). However, it looks like I can sign up for the Kaiser Bronze 60 HSA HMO for $392 per month ($4,500 deductible and maximum out of pocket for one person is $6,350). I currently have an individual plan thru Anthem/Blue Cross which costs $720 per month ($2,950 deductible and max out of pocket is $11,810).

It has been years since I’ve even reached my current deductible, so the cheaper plan seems like a good idea.

I have a couple questions, Does anyone have experience with Kaiser and would you recommend it? Also, does “maximum out of pocket” really mean what it says? In other words, once I’ve spent $6,350 in medical bills in one year, is EVERY other bill paid by the insurance?
