On the APnews.myway website, Ricardo Alonzo-Zaldivar recently reported on this:
"After paying premiums, many low- and middle-income patients still face high costs when trying to use their coverage.

'I think it's going to be the next big problem,' said Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., a congressional leader on health care.
'We've got some 17 million more people covered ... but they can't access the care they seem to be entitled to,' McDermott said. 'It costs too much to use the care. That's the deceptive part about it.'"
