I'm not so sure about this....does this mean that more employers will go to the higher deductable plans? Will it cost us less out of our paychecks but more for the actual medical care?

Isn't it funny how Perdue cares now, since he started courting John McCain to pick him as his running mate for V.P.? Gotta love the old South politicians.

You got it...and if your employer gets into one of them it's gonna cost the EMPLOYEES more money for health care because of the high deductibles. Plus they (employers)get TAX breaks for joining them from what I have read of the actual law he signed,(go to ga.gov ) and read it. This bill was not for allowing everyone "the chance for affordable insurance", its give the insurance companies free reign to raise rates and rake in millions more and at the same time making the consumer pay a high deductible.
