Things We All Have To Buy Under The Affordable Care Act

10 Essential Benefits: And some people think this is a good thing. It's no wonder insurance companies are dropping people from their plans.

"The Affordable Care Act requires health-insurance plans to meet certain minimum criteria, including a prohibition against denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions. It also limits a subscriber’s out-of-pocket medical costs. For 2014 that amount is $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for families (the amount includes deductibles and co-payments, but not premiums). In addition, all plans must include services for the so-called 10 essential benefits: • Preventive and wellness services and chronic-disease management. • Prescription drugs. • Emergency services. • Hospitalization. • Ambulatory patient services. • Rehabilitative services and devices. • Laboratory services. • Mental-health and substance-use-disorder services, including behavioral-health treatment. • Maternity and newborn care. • Pediatric services, including dental and vision" -

I'll tell you one thing. If I get pregnant and can have maternity benefits I'm going to be one happy fella.
