Coinsurance. Coinsurance is an additional cost that some health care plans require policy holders to pay after the deductible is met. When you pay coinsurance, you split a certain cost with the insurance company at a ratio determined by the terms of your insurance plan. Coinsurance is often 10, 30 or 20 percent.
State lawmakers grappling with how to fund former governor Robert F. McDonnellâs landmark 2013 transportation bill included a fail-safe measure that would increase the stateâs gas tax if Congress failed to deliver on online sales revenue by the start of 2015.
The Act increased the Federal gas tax by 5 cents, with half the increase going to the Highway Trust Fund, the other half to deficit reduction. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, signed by President Bill Clinton on August 10, 1993, increased the gas tax by 4.3 cents, bringing the total tax to 18.4 cents per gallon. The increase was entirely for deficit reduction, with none credited to the Highway Trust Fund.
