a separate account and use that to travel and go to casinos. >> it's a crime, right. just because they're in a special place doesn't mean that they can do that. >> the archdiocese of los angeles is being criticized for not wanting to press charges against the nuns. the two women asked for forgiveness and they promised they will pay the money back. hey, it's that time of the year, time to select your health insurance for next year. >> michael finney is here with how to make the best choices for you and your family. >> this is open enrollment season. that means we all have some tough choices to make when it comes to our health insurance coverage. it doesn't matter if you get your coverage through your employer, buy it on your own or enrolled in medicae. it is complicated and confusing. so to sort it out, we have consumer reports senior money editor donna rosato. so let's begin with the bad news, donna.

it doesn't look like premiums are going to go down. out of pocket costs, i can't imagine them going down. am i right about that? >> it's a bit of a mixed bag. premiums are actually flat this year, compared to last year. and premiums are how much you pay every much for your insurance. but they've been steadily climbing. so if you compare what premiums are five years ago, what you're paying for premiums are up about 20% for employer insurance. for family coverage, just to give you an idea how much that is, that's about $5,000 if you're paying for health insurance for your family. and deductibles, as you said, those are your out of pocket costs, what you have to pay before insurance kicks in, those are up about 50% of the past five years. on the average, people with health insurance through your employer are paying $1,500. that's just an average for a deductible. >> studies i've seen show most

of us just stick with whatever program we had last year, we really don't look into other options. i assume that's got to be bad. >> a large number of people just default to the plan they had last year, more than 80% of people. part of it is understandable. insurance is complicated. it is not fun to shop for it. but sit a mistake. you may decide to go with the same plan, but plans change. prescription drugs, the drugs that might be covered by your plan change. what your doctor takes the insurance may change, and how much the deductibles and the co-pays are may change, as well. so just take a look, compare. you can go back to the one you might have had, but take a look to see if it's different than the one last year. while it's still suitable for your needs. >> what is the first step to identify the most cost effective plan for you and your family? >> to find the most cost effective plan, you want to

understand what kind of health care consumer you are. what i mean is how much health care, how many times do you go to the doctor, what kind of services do you need in a typical year? no one has a crystal ball, you don't know what your health care needs are going to be next year. but you can use your current health and what you did last year or the current year as a guide. so generally, if you're in good health, you don't go to the doctor much, choose a plan that has lower premiums and a higher deductible, because you may never go to the doctor enough to hit that deductible. but if you have a chronic illness or say you're older or have like a big surgery planned for next year, you might be better off with a plan that has a higher premium, what you pay every month, and a lower deductible, because you're going to probably blow past that deductible if you go to the doctor a lot. >> donna, thank you very much for the time and information. >> thanks for talking with me. >> all right. and thank you, michael finney. you can get your cover
