they realize that they can ACTUALLY GET HEALTH CARE!!!!! and then there is an initial rush to get problems that have been borne for years and years looked at and remedied, if possible. Especially for start-up health insurers, this may mean that they are, in a way, the new ERs. Once all of the existing health concerns are addressed, the influx should settle down to what people who did have health insurance all along do - get problems taken care of as they occur, not be forced to let those problems fester or get worse, until an ER visit is needed.
