Is this something that is new? I always used to see health insurance companies advertising all the time. And I never heard the ads say: "But you can only give us your money during a certain time period."
Anyway...it seems to go against the idea of getting everyone insured, and creates a window of time where some people will be uninsured. Kinda dumb.

i would think that after a couple of years they would open it up - would make sense
