“In 2010 President Barack Obama implanted the Affordable Care Act.”
This act was implemented in part of many Americans not having insurance (main reason) due to pre-existing conditions (“excluding tobacco usage”) and high premium insurance and out of pocket deductibles which was hard for many to afford insurance.
Over many years Centers of Medicare and Medicaid noticed an influx of hospital visits and little to no payments from the consumers.
The medical eligibility bracket was “3% to 4% of their annual income, in 2013 they revised to
$45,960 for an individual or $94,200 for a family of four, this expanded to allow incomes of 133% of the poverty level”. This will secure individual polices if an individual did not act on this they could incur a penalty.
. “The new plans would pay in full vs payment plans for major surgeries”; there were various clauses that needed to be put in place with exiting Insurance companies to implement new insurance plans to assist these soon to be members. The congress overlooked the bracket of who would pay what towards their insurance premiums which was a difficult task for Insurance companies, since they needed to implement new plans. Many insurance companies also did not want to be part of the Medicaid coverage; they actually had to bid to implement plans in certain states. The mandate also specified there could no longer be any junk plans; they had to be defined for affordability and coverage.
When consumers looked for insurance to suit their needs there was a survey to determine which plan would work best for their need.
