Then you have to pay 8K out of pocket before deductible kicks in and covers things.
That was the best "private" insurance plan that existed when TBH and I were forced to switch last fall.

Damn.
Meanwhile, a sick infant is one of the saddest things I've seen. Poor kid.
When mini-Lenz #1 was in and out of the ER 5 times in 6 days and then spent 2 nights in a hospital last July it was by far the worst experience of my life.
If I'm sick, or TBH is sick, it sucks but we can fix it and verbalize what's wrong. With kids it's a guessing game and if you're guessing wrong you're screwed. The fix for her was extremely simple but it took the worst week of my life to get to it.
Also, really looking forward to paying full price for birth of mini-lenz #2 this fall....yep.
Meanwhile my wife has done therapy with people who have had 4 or 5 kids taken by DHS but their reply is "Oh well, I'll just have another one because it won't cost me anything"
It's pretty fucking bullshit.
