it isnot a full 100% after deductible, it’s 70/30 or 80/20, and all plans have co-pays split like this for procedures and meds.

given obamacare plan deductibles are HUGE and you have to pay all of that first before the plans pay anything. They will soon figure out they only need to ring up the deductible amount before insurance kicks in, not actually pay it. A 24 hour hospital stay will get them there.

Actually the main reason for overpricing is the SCOTUS ruling that said hospitals had to give services to illegals. From that time on illegals used the ER instead of using a doctor who could have turned them away. Hospitals required to treat indigents then passed those costs on to people who paid.

Jiminy Cricket! Ms. Galvez probably does not realize that the cost of her Bronze policy is really more like $910.00 a month if it’s a self-only policy because she has a $5,500 deductible before she receives ANY benefits. ($5,500/12 = $458.33!) If it’s for a family of four, the monthly cost before receiving ANY benefits is more like $2,290.00! Add another $460.00 for each of the other three people on the plan. That’s a lot of money for nothing but catastrophic coverage.
Since Ms. Galvez sought treatment in Alexandria, Virginia, she probably voted for Obama to rob her, and she probably thinks it is the Republicans who are robbing her!

Theyre going to be even more shocked when they get their insurance cards and will hear about, for the first time, about the deductible.I would think that substantial number of these LIVs don't have the reading comprehension skills to understand what a deductible is.

I think you’re right. IF it were limited to the LIVs, it wouldn’t be that bad for the country at all, almost welcome actually. Unfortunately, it’s not gonna work that way.

"I would think that substantial number of these LIVs don't have the reading comprehension skills to understand what a deductible is."
Sad but true. Somehow it will be explained in the MSM that the deductibles under Obamacare are due to conservatives and the tea party.
To: VerySadAmerican
Before obamacare the hospitals would treat anyone. Apparently now that EVERYONE is supposed to have insurance the hospitals no longer believe they have to provide free healthcare.No, I believe the article is misleading. The hospital did not turn her away. She chose to leave once she heard the price for x-ray.
