Yet while millions of people have gained coverage since Obamacare became law in 2010, there’s also been an increase in insurance that comes with high deductibles and cost-sharing. Under those plans, the first few thousand dollars of annual medical expenses come out of patients’ wallets. That’s money that hospitals like Childress Regional Medical Center in the Texas Panhandle region are unlikely to collect.


So people buy under_insurance and don't pay their bills...and this is somehow the fault of ACA...a Texas example no less...where the GOPers have been fighting the ACA tooth and nail and the most likely to be unable to cover deductibles don't have the option of Medicaid expansion...and despite the fact that they can buy a plan with a lower deductible and, assuming that they are financially strapped, get a good subsidy, or, if they are not financially strapped, probably able to pay the copays and OOP costs with hospitals who very likely are more than willing to work payment plans.? Give me an effing break...what did these people do before the ACA was in place?
