Skimpy health law plans leave some “underinsured”

For working people making modest wages and struggling with high medical bills from chronic disease, President Barack Obama’s health care plan sounds like long-awaited relief. But the promise could go unfulfilled.

It’s true that patients with cancer and difficult conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Crohn’s disease will be able to get insurance and financial help with monthly premiums.

But their annual out-of-pocket costs could still be so high they’ll have trouble staying out of debt.

You couldn’t call them uninsured any longer. You might say they’re “underinsured.” …

It must come at a huge relief that they’ll get “free” contraception.

You couldn't call the Kenyan "under qualified". You might say he's unqualified.

Exactly.

And it can still leave hospitals footing the bill with the high deductibles.

Good post!

only in the ER. any other department will verify insurance and require pre-payment.

The urgent care we go to will require cash up front if they can’t verify coverage and met deduct.

But everyone will go broke trying to afford insurance to keep from going broke by getting sick. What twisted minds lizards have.
