You're welcome. ProSense Nov 2012 #4

So, for Bronze level, the lowest, the deductible will be $3,000 and morningfog Nov 2012 #5

No ProSense Nov 2012 #6

So $5,950 is the cap, including the cost of the plan, deductibles and copays? morningfog Nov 2012 #7

From the OP: ProSense Nov 2012 #8

Great. Thanks. morningfog Nov 2012 #9

Premiums are separate, just like insurance now. You pay your premiums TheKentuckian Nov 2012 #35

No, premiums aren't 'shared costs' leftstreet Nov 2012 #11

Well, goddamn, which is it. I can't get a straight answer on this. morningfog Nov 2012 #12

The straight answer: Deductibles aren't premiums either. ProSense Nov 2012 #13

LOL n/t leftstreet Nov 2012 #16

Deductibles aren't premiums, they're deductibles? morningfog Nov 2012 #17

That's right. It was extremely clear. ProSense Nov 2012 #24

Yes, you have it right n/t leftstreet Nov 2012 #15

Thank you. I finally got to the answer. morningfog Nov 2012 #18

+1 for your perseverance leftstreet Nov 2012 #20

K&R. Thank goodness! Overseas Nov 2012 #14

I don't read that to mean the $4,950 would include premiums Fumesucker Nov 2012 #19

You are correct. The link from the OP starts: morningfog Nov 2012 #21

Someone posted a 19th century translation of some Ovid in an OP the other day Fumesucker Nov 2012 #26

But with a cap of $5,950 (single coverage) many people will still not be able to afford care dflprincess Nov 2012 #27

Not everyone will hit the cap, and ProSense Nov 2012 #28

And a screening test does you no good if you cannot afford any follow up you might need dflprincess Nov 2012 #29

But that was before the ACA kicked in. n/t ProSense Nov 2012 #30

No, it continues dflprincess Nov 2012 #36

I dont get it libtodeath Nov 2012 #31

Deductibles, co-pays and co-insurance are not new. ProSense Nov 2012 #32

So in other words here is something not as bad libtodeath Nov 2012 #33

That's sure what it sounds like to me, too. forestpath Nov 2012 #34
