If you are in a position of stopping a future tragedy with a strategic concession of relatively little consequence, it's really dumb not to take the opportunity. Except this concession may be neither necessary nor sufficient to stop the future tragedy, and in fact might possibly even contribute towards it (depending on whether you think the issue operates more a slippery slope, or as one specific widely accepted problem for which some are pushing an extreme solution that could be undercut by compromise) If it's a small increment, all the more reason to concede it if you get something in return. What do I get in return? Catastrophic coverage is fine for you and me but not for kids. Maybe. Maybe that's why there was no such policy available anymore once I added the kids in to the mix. The more important point is the price increments for the policies with $2500 and $500 deductibles are not that great.
