This photo taken Dec. 19, 2013 shows Avalere Health Vice President Caroline Pearson posing for a photo in her office in Washington. For working people making modest wages and struggling with high medical bills from chronic disease, President Barack Obama's health care plan sounds like long-awaited relief. But it could turn into an unfulfilled promise. Chronically ill people are likely to be underinsured and face extremely high out-of-pocket costs, says Pearson, who tracks the health care overhaul for Avalere Health, a market research and consulting firm. While the subsidies help, there still may be access problems for some populations. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)
