As a generally healthy person it's very disappointing that catastrophic plans are only available for under 30s. [0] For me it makes the most financial sense to pay out of pocket for incidentals/annuals, but be covered for catastrophes e.g. get hit by a bus and wake up in a hospital.
What magical event happens to people at age 30 that led the legislators to ban catastrophic? Would love to see the actuarial data on that. I have no knowledge/evidence of the reasoning but to me it definitely smells like lobbying.
