I am actually one of them. I have only had a catastrophic coverage plan for years which doesn't cover doctor visits, prescriptions or anything non-life threatening. Obamacare will only let you have these kind of plans up to a certain age. In the end, if the prices on the exchange are correct I will end up with much better coverage for about $30 more per month.
