And then, you can still rack up catastrophic bills. Only the top “platinum” plans cover out-of-network charges. There’s no way to know when you go to a hospital which specialists will not be covered by insurance, which you may be charged in full, completely outside the $6k deductible. The WashPo documented that in some states, not a single plan is available without out-of-network coverage. With ACA minimums, why are we still banned from buying insurance across state lines?
Also, better not have a medical emergency when traveling to another city or state… really sucks if you’re in a career that involves constant traveling.
US health care: slightly better than before, still the worst on the planet.
