I am glad you put sub-standard in quotes as that is exactly right.  What is considered "sub-standard" by Obamacare was simply the policy that people wanted to buy when it was still being offered.  But no longer can a 55-year old man have a policy that doesn't cover contraceptives, maternity benefits, etc. You gotta have it all and pay for it.  That is why the Cruz amendment was genius.  As long as an insurer provides a plan consistent with those required under Obamacare they are also free to offer any other type of plan.  Want your high premium, high deductible Obamacare plan then go ahead and waste your money.  Want a plan that actually meets your needs?  You can have that as well.  And if you want no plan at all?  That's your decision....not the governments.
