I have to cover the whole costs of every visit as co-pays don't kick in until I've paid $10K. Except for the wellness check which is the one part of ACA that kicked in for us already.

I had such hope for insurance reform. What we got was very watered down because of compromising with those who wanted nothing. Which is amusing since what we got is Romneycare.
