发帖数: 29846 | 1 ‘Affordable’ ObamaCare: Woman With Chest Pains Skips X-Ray After Realizing
She Has a $5,500 Deductible
by Jammie
There’s going to be a lot of this going on. These suckers have no clue that
if they have a $5,500 deductible on top of their $450 per month “
Affordable” health care they’re on the hook for all of that $5,500 before
the wonderful benefits of their insurance kick in.
Another ObamaCare success story:
Hospital staff in Northern Virginia are turning away sick people on a
frigid Thursday morning because they can’t determine whether their
Obamacare insurance plans are in effect.
Patients in a close-in DC suburb who think they’ve signed up for new
insurance plans are struggling to show their December enrollments are in
force, and health care administrators aren’t taking their word for it.
In place of quick service and painless billing, these Virginians are now
facing the threat of sticker-shock that comes with bills they can’t afford.
‘They had no idea if my insurance was active or not!’ a coughing Maria
Galvez told MailOnline outside the Inova Healthplex facility in the town of
Springfield.
She was leaving the building without getting a needed chest x-ray.
‘The people in there told me that since I didn’t have an insurance
card, I would be billed for the whole cost of the x-ray,’ Galvez said, her
young daughter in tow. ‘It’s not fair – you know, I signed up last week
like I was supposed to.’
The x-ray’s cost, she was told, would likely be more than $500.
Galvez said she enrolled in a Carefirst Blue Cross bronze plan at a cost
of about $450 per month through healthcare.gov, three days before Christmas.
‘No one has sent me a bill,’ she said.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified in a
December 11 congressional hearing that the federal government can’t say how
many new enrollees have written checks for their first month’s premiums.
‘Some may have paid, some may have not,’ she conceded.
It’s unlikely that a valid insurance card would have changed Galvez’
fortunes, however.
Her Carefirst plan, identified on the Obamacare website as BlueChoice
Plus Bronze, carries a $5,500 per-person deductible for 2014 – an amount
she would have to pay out-of-pocket before her coverage would apply to
medical expenses.
It won’t be long until people start dying because they couldn’t afford to
pay their deductibles for treatment. | J*****n

也就是说我每年付450*12 = 5400,就换来100块的可能性收益？ | d*******p
发帖数: 2525 | 3 5500是deductable,也就是说你5400的premium以外，还要支付5500以后，insurance才
会开始付钱 | d*****n
发帖数: 754 | 4 也就是说，在你付完9900$以后，保险公司才会付钱。

发帖数: 856 | 9 这个不准确。如果你在第一个月就已经自付到达上限的话，保险公司会从第一个月开始
付钱，当然其后的月费和copay还是要交的
