[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1213826, member: 28856"] Who says a person in their early or even mid to late 20s with just "catastrophic" insurance, they broke a bone or were diagnosed with cancer and the insurance plan will cover it, but it doesn't cover that they got sick with the flu or sprained their ankle has crappy insurance? I wouldn't call it crappy if an expected to be healthy person chose to get insurance for something they wouldn't normally be able to afford. We were all like this when we were younger, we felt like we were invincible. 10 years ago I wouldn't care if I had insurance to cover me when I woke up feeling like death warmed over. I'd just call into work say I was sick and sleep for a couple days. Now that I'm older, I'm still likely to sleep a couple days, but knowing I have the insurance and that I'm not the young and invincible I once was I'm more likely to visit a clinic or doctor over it. I've tried to get through to the Obamacare website to see what a plan would cost me, using the guidelines I have and the amount of the w-2 I have to see if I can get anything equivalent for near the same, but I can't get through the site. I keep getting errors, and that's not what I should be getting given the 4+ years to develop the website. Sure the details might have needed changing and adjustment, but I can't think of a single institution with 4+ years of planning that would fail this badly on release of the website. [/QUOTE]
