This plan provides the best balance of 1) low monthly premiums (only $ 5 / mo more than the absolute lowest monthly payment), 2) low worst case costs ($ 6700 less than the average plan), and competitive costs for a variety of common medical
scenarios (
emergency room,
doctor's office, etc).
The very narrow exception for medical
emergency leaves many
scenarios where a woman's health may be at risk, but where a
doctor, for fear of being prosecuted or simply because the health crisis does not rise to the definition of medical
emergency, would not be able to offer her care.
