Why is that?

Why shouldn't a single guy be able to buy a healthcare plan tailored to his needs.

It wouldn't have birth control, labor and delivery, etc. but it might be heavier on prostate cancer, etc.

It wouldn't have coverage for adult children still living at home either.

If the guy was doing well, he might have a policy with a higher deductible and he might want to pay out of pocket expenses up to a larger amount rather than pay for protection he rarely uses.

People buy homeowners insurance, car insurance, etc. tailored to their needs; but somehow healthcare insurance is different and the govt. has set a minimum std. to try and cover everyone under one big tent when it really isn't necessary.

The American way use to be to let people shop for what they want or need and not have the govt. tell them what to buy.

Now I realize there are those who can't afford insurance, but isn't that an entirely different problem?

Only because of the new ACA mandate. There were plenty of plans that did not cover BC prior.
