I honestly question accuracy, that is way, way, way, way above average.  

Average deductible today is $1800 per person.  20 years ago the average was $600..  9k deductible per person, honestly man, makes no sense.  Not saying it is impossible, but that is orders of magnitude above average.  

Definitely lower premiums but yeah, when I saw the numbers I thought it was insane. No way anyone in our family would ever hit it. I will ask for some 2026 numbers next time I speak to her.

I am curious, deductibles are higher today then 15 years ago.  A family of four on my end is $1800.  $600 per person.  9k should be illegal.
