Obamacare plans to offer no copays and no coinsurance cost

Doctor's visit

According to National Public Radio news, changes in Obamacare plans are being implemented throughout several different markets after people complained about their copays and coinsurance costs. Copays and deductible plans added to American resistance in signing up for private coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Insurers say their hope is to encourage more doctors’ visits, thereby diagnosing illnesses before they are more expensive to manage. They’re also hoping urgent care and emergency room visits will decrease while attracting healthier younger people to sign up.
