Really don't know too much about health insurance
At the moment my family and I are on my Kaiser group healthcare plan from work. Costs around $200 month with a $20 copay and I believe no deductible. I imagine I'll retire before my wife and we'll go on her similar but slightly more expensive plan ($275) until both of us retires in a few years time. When that happens we'll be looking at a plan for both of us and our kids (10 and 5). Typically if (touch wood) we're reasonably healthy i.e not overweight, no chronic conditions, exercise well and eat frequently, would it make more sense to go for a high deductible plan for the whole family ?
And also typically is there any room for negotiation over these rack rates that I see when I visit sites like ehealthinsurance.com
