I am interested in how the health care reform bill is going to affect me and the medications I take. I know what you mean about easily meeting the deductible and or out of pocket pay before the year is half way thru. The grandfathered plan is actually a very very good thing. Basically they are saying you will be covered normally how you would if the health care reform had not happened without an increase in payments. However with the health care reform when the year is up and you go to renew your insurance or you get a new insurance carrier you can either be denied coverage and or be charged out the ass for coverage. That is what scares me the most is I will not be eligible for coverage once this health care reform bill comes into complete play. The health care reform bill is going to end up killing a lot of the chronically ill and elderly patients.

Only insurance companies would call that a "plus" - and the preexisting condition clause is one of the last parts of the law to move forward.
