This lady is being dishonest.
No way she got “acceptable” coverage for $700, compared to her previous plan.
I have several friends who are 58, 59ish and they have private insurance. Costs $1,700 per month and their deductible is $2,500.
They have a variety of procedures that are not covered and a variety that are covered but, at a scored value and then they have the rest of procedures covered at 80% and 90%.... after the deductible.
Their monthly rate goes up in January with the same coverage.
ObamaCare® fir this couple probably has quite a few limitations and a deductible that is about the same as catastrophic insurance.
She likely made the gamble that what might go wrong with her and her husband will be covered and they will figure out what to do if not.
The local paper has her story saying she ‘saved’ $150 month on her premiums. No reference to the comparable deductibles or how her husband is now being covered. Delaware’s uninsured , which this Obamacare plan was supposed to be about, will be in large part covered by putting more people on Medicaid. We already have 1 in 5 residents soaking up those ‘free’ benefits.
