Common myths and questions exist about the ACA Health Insurance plans . An example of one myth that MHG Insurance Specialists have come across relates to out-of-pocket obligations:

• “The Bronze plans have a sizeable out of pocket obligation that must be met by its subscribers.”

The fact is that the maximum out of pocket is $6,250 for individuals, and $12,500 for families. The 2014 cost sharing limits for individuals ($6,350), and for families ($12,700), will change each year. Small group plans and grandfathered plans have different cost sharing limits. All metallic plans - Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum - follow the same limits, but each differ in the percentages that the insured pays until those limits are met.

A common question regarding ACA Health Insurance plans:

• Who qualifies for catastrophic coverage?
