Healthpocket, a technology company that compares health plans, reports that the average 2016 deductible for a Silver plan, the most popular in ObamaCare health insurance exchanges, is $3,117 for an individual, and $6,480 for a family.

For the Bronze plan, which is popular with people who do not get any government subsidy, the average deductible is $5,731 for an individual, and $11,601 for a family.

Democrats used to complain that high-deductible plans allowed "greedy insurers" to take premiums while avoiding paying claims. Indeed, high-deductible policies were what President Obama had in mind when he railed against "junk insurance."

Now extremely high deductibles are the hallmark of the Democrats' health care law.
