I wish anyone who follows Martin Feldstein's argument ["Obamacare's nasty surprise," Washington Forum, Nov. 6] the best of luck if he or she drops private insurance (or an employer takes it away) to save insurance costs and "immediately" applies for "Obamacare" when a "serious illness" strikes. How "immediately" could the person obtain coverage when he or she could be dead within hours -- as in the case of a heart attack or traffic accident?
Mr. Feldstein may be a brilliant economist, but I don't think the realities of medical care have been factored into his argument.
