ObamaCare plans have substantially raised the amount of cost sharing they require for drugs. Often they don’t cover any specialty drug costs until a patient has hit their deductible. There is also the issue of the dwindling number of specialty drugs that health plans include in their formularies, and provide any coverage for. Almost all of the “Silver” plans offered under ObamaCare sport closed drug formularies, where there’s no coverage for drugs not listed on the narrow formulary lists. This means when a drug doesn’t make a health plans list, consumers are completely uncovered.
