However, all Silver plans must include the ObamaCare 10 essential health benefits, providers must cover 70% of your medical costs before you hit your out-of-pocket max, and providers must abide by the 80/20 ObamaCare Rule, where all insurance companies must spend 80% of the aggregate plan premiums on health care or refund their policyholders.
