41. No, that's the thing. it's not a high deductable plan!

It's a normal deductible plan.

The premiums went up, I think about 30% after the ACA subsidies were eliminated. And it's not even an ACA plan!

The increases in the ACA premiums because of the subsidy elimination flowed through to regular insurance too!
