I wonder how many people who got a bronze plan understand that they best have at least $5,000 readily available to pay the deductible. It would make no sense for hospitals and doctors not to insist on payment of the deductible up front, or the full bill if it falls under the deductible.

It's incredible, but I suspect there are many people out there who are not financially sophisticated enough to know how insurance works.

Don’t expect most to pony up $5k either.
