Remember Obamacare? It's still out there and it's still causing idiotic situations for those who purchase individual health insurance policies.
Here's an example: in Colorado, a young single woman went to the exchange to purchase an insurance policy. As is the case in most places, the insurance available is expensive, has extremely high deductibles (like $5000) and doesn't cover much until that deductible is satisfied. As a result, it's health insurance but it doesn't provide actual healthcare except in catastrophic situations. That's bad enough, but here's the kicker. Most of the policies did not provide pediatric dental coverage. Such coverage is required by Obamacare. As a result, a person with no children must buy a separate pediatric dental plan in order to be able to purchase regular health insurance. How stupid is that?
