My plan in Washington is going to cancel and they told me they will automatically put me in a bronze unless I sign up for something else.
I am not going to do anything so they cannot add me to the tally of enrollees on the website.
I am in NC. Since I don’t qualify for a subsidy, my insurance purchase did not involve healthcare.gov at all, it was strictly between me and BCBSNC. I never left the BCBSNC website, and gave very little personal info.
I didn’t even have to give any income info at all, just the basic personal info and a credit card for the first month’s payment.
When I applied at BCBSNC, it asked about a subsidy. It would have redirected me to healthcare.gov if I wanted to qualify for a subsidy. But I knew I did not qualify and answered no, so I never went to the government website.
We had a BCBSNC rep in to explain this to us, and she was right. No subsidy = no trip to healthcare.gov
