This sums up the meltdown at eht (some) State level:
“There are so many things those plans don’t have to do or cover, " said Altman.
"So on their face, these plans are not comparable to [ObamaCare] compliant plans.â€
I never wanted an Obamacare compliant plan. There is an awful lot in those plans I definitely do not and will not need.
What I don't need is a bill for 28K a year for coverage I will NEVER use because it is medically not possible to need.
In addition to pay for the preexisting conditions of others whose lifestyles may involve far more dangerous choices than any I have made*, which puts a burden on the pool for the medical costs of those who caught a bug which will inevitably consume between 500K and 750K in treatment for their really high risk 'choices'.
Well, I don't need any of that. I HAD a plan which would take care of the big stuff, injury or medical disaster, and I took care of the little stuff myself. It fit MY needs, but Obamacare got rid of that.
*I only rock climbed, spelunked, rode motorcycles for decades without a helmet, drove fast, worked construction and on oil rigs, smoked tobacco for 35 years, and drank my lifetime beer ration early (so I quit both)
