Limbaugh was reading some hilarious
Ann Coulter column today where Ms. Coulter expressed how incompetent she was at buying insurance. I doubt that was the intended take-away but reading through her inability to find out what insurance plans her preferred medical providers accept and then using that information to select a purchase a plan, it's all you can logically get from it. My favorite bit:

With zero help from the Obamacare website, I eventually figured out that there was one lone insurance plan that would cover treatment at a reputable hospital. The downside is, no doctors take it.
So my only two health insurance options -- and yours, too, as soon as the waivers expire, America! -- are: (1) a plan that no doctors take; or (2) a plan that no hospitals take. You either pay for all your doctor visits and tests yourself, or you pay for your cancer treatment yourself. And you pay through the nose in either case.
So Ms. Coulter presupposes a hospital where they accept no insurance plans except one and which hires doctors who refuse to accept that plan (or any other)? Do these doctors and hospital staff eat mice and paint flakes since they refuse to accept any income or to see any patients? She honestly thinks that there's hospitals and physicians that refuse to accept any legitimate ACA-approved insurance plans?
See, now I would think "Hey, I'll call Dr. Smith and see which providers he accepts and then call those insurance companies and see what plans they offer." This simple one-two step never occurs to her. Instead she blunders blindly from place to place, eventually blaming all her woes on the Obamacare website that she refuses to put her data into. Meanwhile, as previously cited, millions of smarter, clearer thinking Americans are contacting the companies directly and walking away with new plans. Ah, good ole self-reliant conservatism shines once again
