I don't understand how the plan works. Does the government subsidize CVS/ Well Care. If I do not pay, what is the incentive for CVS and Well Care?
I also have WellCare. I signed up because of the no premium & because I have no prescriptions. My idea is to watch it & if I need prescriptions in the future, then to get the best lowest care plan for my situation. Which circles around to your second question, the no premium, is probably subsidized by higher costs, higher up the ladder.
