However much I agree with you, people who had these plans and rarely if ever used them believed that they had insurance even if they never tested the plan. It might seem to be health insurance, if you don’t look too closely, and most people don’t. The premiums are surprisingly affordable. And so millions of unemployed people, service industry workers, and those taken in by fast-talking telemarketers sign up. They may think they’re insured—until they have a medical problem and find out that their coverage is as skimpy as a hospital gown. And now they are undoubtedly paying more, so are pissed and so will vote against Democrats in 2014 and plausibly in 2016. That is the problem.
