In reply to the discussion: The Mandated "Bronze" Policy on The Exchange will only cover 60% of the actual Health Care Cost? [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)It does not cover the additional costs of the actual Health Care at the point of delivery.
THAT is going to be over & above the cost of the "insurance".
If the sources cited by the OP are true,
THAT cost can be as much as 40% of the total Hospital Bill for the mandated "Bronze" Policy bought on The Exchange in 2014.
Some people in this thread have posted sources that indicate that additional help will be available to those people hit with a 40% Bill from the hospital,
but the sources are vague and confusing about exactly WHAT additional help will be available,
and at WHAT additional costs.
None have provided specific sources clearly stating that the additional costs of the actual Health CARE will be capped at a percentage of income.
Health Insurance =/= Health Care
THAT costs extra.
