I tried since Oct 1 to help our son find a new policy. He doesn’t need birth control pills, mammograms - he is a dude. He can’t use pediatric vision and dental - he is over 18. But the new ACA individual policies MUST contain all that plus maternity care. On an Individual Policy he cannot use that! And they jacked up the price and the deductible.
Yes...and the Dems’ argument for that is embarrassingly stupid - saying that they need him to pay for that stuff to be part of the “risk pool” - a risk pool he has no part of because he has no risk of those things. Their argument makes as much sense as saying people who aren’t getting married should be forced to purchase wedding insurance for the same reason.
