Recording clarification: Rather than it being possible to pay nearly $58,000 in medical costs before the insurance company pays a dime in a 12 month period, a more accurate statement is that with the $12,000 deductible and $17,000 out-of-pocket maximum for the referenced ACA Silver plan, it is possible to pay nearly $48,000 before the insurance company pays a dime, with a total out of pocket exposure (total cost) of $58,000.
