No more and no less. You pay more in premiums, you get more in return (increased benefits, fewer restrictions, fewer exclusions, more choices).&lt;br /&gt;In any contract one can get as much or as little as one wants (as benefits), and it is up to you, the consumer, to choose what you want to buy.&lt;br /&gt;Like buying a home or a car, the more you pay the more you get and it is as simple as that.&lt;br /&gt;You would be cautious of someone who promises to sell you a Cadillac for Volkswagen prices, right??---Then the same thing goes for any type of health care plan.&lt;br /&gt;A health care contract/plan can have any type of exclusions such as heart attacks, seizures, medications, physical therapy, pre-natal care, immunizations, well baby care, strokes or abdominal surgery, etc.  They can do this, though it would be dumb to buy this type of plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are interested in learning more about this go to &lt;a href="http://www.dranonymous.com/"&gt;www.dranonymous.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5209597657835663223-59850861024617044?l=doctor-anonymous.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://doctor-anonymous.blogspot.com/feeds/59850861024617044/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://doctor-anonymous.blogspot.com/2010/02/from-handbook-what-is-health-care-plan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5209597657835663223/posts/default/59850861024617044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5209597657835663223/posts/default/59850861024617044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://doctor-anonymous.blogspot.com/2010/02/from-handbook-what-is-health-care-plan.html' title='From the Handbook - What Is A Health Care Plan?'/><author><name>Dr Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07317448095798795048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
