For the first twelve months, the policy covers the cost of the baby’s checkups and shots, subject to the deductible and coinsurance. (The deductible, and a thirty dollar copayment for each doctor’s visit, does not seem to apply to the first two visits.) Between the ages of one and eight, the policy offers only $500 of coverage for well child care—a maximum of $150 a year. A family with a sick kid might have to incur debt to pay for the child’s care.
So what does $5,000 buy? The answer may be very little.

Well, I am more concerned about CJR than I am CNN. While Gupta may be guilty of omission, which is somewhat understandable on television, Trudy Leiberman wastes my time and confusing me even more. Yes, Trudy, you quote different sources and arrive at different conclusions. Gee, thanks for clearing that up. As far as sticking to certain professions -- perhaps you should stick to professional hack. You are quite good at it.
