You missed these parts of the article you posted:First, the title: "No, Obamacare Won’t Cover Every Drug — Just Like Every Other Insurance Policy" Then this part: "Insurers will continue to rely on drug formularies — as they currently do in the private market and Medicare Part D — to decide which prescriptions are covered and which are not." And the kicker: "“The Affordable Care Act struck a balance here,” Levitt added. “There is a wide range of plans available to people with some people providing much more coverage, but at higher premiums, and then a minimum level of coverage that is really the kind of catastrophic coverage that conservatives have long advocated.” "And therein lies the irony of the attack: Republicans have traditionally seen high deductibles and limited coverage as a way to control individual health care spending. Now that Obamacare gives patients that choice, they’re suddenly complaining that the insurance is not generous enough." |
