I obviously don’t know the specifics, but US healthcare plans only let you change during specific enrollment periods or qualifying life events. It’s possible he wasn’t able to.

Additionally, it sounds like he picked what appeared to be the best rated plan available to him on the market. Others may have been even worse or prohibitively expensive.
