>> In many cases that would be because their premiums were not due at the time of the report. Those who are basing their complaints on non-payers are missing the mark. While many won't pay, in the end most are going to pay for a while. The bigger problem is when younger people realize they aren't getting anything tangible out of it, they're going to the doctor to get birth control pills and have to pay a $150 doctor bill, they go, "Where am I saving money with this?"
