Risk averse. All millennials I know have health insurance, and purposely chose careers which feature employers offering quality coverage.

But nobody cares about the millennials you know. If they represented the norm, then nobody would have to make laws that forced them to get insurance.

Price would go down if it wasn't packed with bloated crap.

I'm sure childless couples love paying for pediatric dental coverage, or two gay men paying for maternity coverage.

Your law, ACA, failed. Time to move on. All big insurers leaving, leaves a pretty, but lacking options, website.

My law? You probably haven't read many of my posts, but I savage anything done or said by liberals, including Obamacare.

Then, like me, enjoy its long overdue demise. I want only legislation every voting Congressman in either chamber has read. in FULL. Before voting.

Sure, but those are mandated by government. Guess what? Men have to pay for coverage for mammograms and everything related to women's health. That shouldn't happen, either. Glad you agree. Get government out of healthcare, you'll get rid of these scenarios.

You shouldn't celebrate because the replacement is going to be equally bad, since everyone on both sides is saying they're going to keep the "pre-existing conditions" stipulation and probably they'll try to reconstruct it "except better" (which means worse).

You do know who approves plans and sets min standards of coverage, as well as premium pmpm, right?

No one knows yet. Personally I think we should have a multi-priced system, based on risk and overall health of those seeking insurance. Just like auto insurance has high risk pools.
