You’re probably right. The low information types are also the low effort types. They’re lazy and easily discouraged and will quickly tire of the confusion and demands on them to make decisions. Their span of attention is measured in minutes.

...low information...lazy....easily discouraged

I don't think that's true for most of them. Most people are computer savy and they've gone through procedures before to get Obamaphones, food stamps, housing subsidies,..... I suspect that it's just like the rest of us. Putting all of that information on line in a new, untried and untrusted system is crazy. Keep in mind most of the people they're trying to sign up do function somewhat in society.

I would be more worried if a lot of people signed up, and then realized later what they signed up for isn't going to help much. The rates that I saw on the WA website are high. The premiums were about what I expected, but the deductibles are really high. I also don't think primary care visits are covered until the deductible is met, until you get to a gold plan. It looks like silver and bronze plans are castastrophic coverage with maternity coverage priced at comprehensive rates.

Any medically involved FReepers out there seeing the same thing? I have a medically involved child and when I look at ACA, I realize a loss of employer based benefits would crush me financially.
