What no one seems to be talking about though is exactly what do these plans cover, how much is their deductible and what is their co-pay.

We’ve seen patients recently whose monthly premium may not have “broken the bank”, but their deductible was $5,000 per year per family member, they had a 50% co-pay and there were severe limits on what their policy would cover.

Despite paying a lot of attention to this bill, I still can't figure out what the out of pocket expenses are, but I think they are capped at a percentage of income. I don't know if those caps are going to take effect this year.

Where the big problem is going to hit is when all the holes in the program hit. There are stories everyday where employers are dumping dependent coverage. Those spouses and children will not be eligible for subsidies in Obamacare and the financial burden will be born by middle class families.

Then you've seen Obamacare.
