That starts with an essentially complete coverage of whats called a Silver Health plan. And that is the premium that is charged for a Health Care Plan that covers 70 of the covered Health Care Services on an actuarial basis. Plans can provide that coverage in different ways. Many people also want more generous coverage, or they receive it through employersponsored plans, if you buy through a Health Exchange you can buy plans that cover up to 90 of the cost of coverage, which leaves relatively small amounts for deductibles, there may not be any or costsharing, only for certain services.
