My family is seeing deductibles go up about 100-300%, depending upon what type of insurance, and what coverage rate is chosen.

I myself am on Medi-Cal (Medicaid) and Medicare, so not much has changed on my end. Though a few years back, they slashed the Durable Medical Equipment coverage and severely changed guidelines. Apparently, I can get a power wheelchair, but I'm on my own if I need a manual (backup) wheelchair.

I'll see if I can gather up some local figures from friends and family. I've heard from a lot of people that they're starting to shell out over a thousand bucks a month for coverage, so I'm willing to say that there are definitely people out there feeling it.
