Something I have wondered about since the beginning of The Affordable Health Care Act.
Why is there an "enrollment period"?
What the fuck is that about? Why can't people just buy insurance any day of the freakin' year like we always could in the past?
That part hasn't made any sense to me at all.
It's like if a guy just turned 18 and his parents are dead. He goes to get insurance...but the "enrollment period" is over.
So now he's screwed if anything happens to him before the next "enrollment period"?
For a law that was supposed to make insurance cheaper (mine has doubled in price) and was supposed to get everyone insured...why on Earth would they not have it available for people to sign up 365 days a year?
