Ryan White, a hospital consultant with Eide Bailly LLP, said one concern is that more people who buy private insurance, including through the online exchanges being set up by the federal government and some states, could opt for plans with high deductibles. He said the lowest-cost plans offered through the exchanges could have deductibles as high as $7,000. That creates a problem if they get sick.“A lot of the individuals signing up for those plans probably don’t have $7,000 sitting in a bank account to pay general hospital of Milwaukee,” White said.
