I waited about 20 minutes with nothing further.
I don't need to enroll, just looking to see what would happen.

Did you try to log on to the government health care exchange? Did you get through successfully? What did you find out? What were the premiums? Did you sign up? Was it easy? Was it a nightmare? Tell your story here . . .
And oh, yeah, the chat room window wait was only 13 minutes.
“The man responded with “I don’t know.”
Sounds normal to me when calling a govt hotline.
Don’t you have to give them your SSN and other personal info before you can even get a quote?
Nope. Never gonna happen.
That says where I live in AZ if I have a retirement income of 42k including SS, I will have to pay 3700 a year and will get a tax credit of 1800 at the end of the year and I will have to cover up to 6300. And this is for my wife’s coverage until she is of medicare age two years later as I will already be covered by medicare.
By the time I add my medicare supplement I will be paying 30 percent of my gross during the year to some government insurance company and still have to pay cash for dental and optical. Bullshit — won’t do it.

I refuse to give them my info to attempt to enroll. Sorry. I’m no help.

“(True stories only please!)”
Well, if you’re going to tie my hands...
I think without delay being granted there won’t be ten percent compliance by the first of the year.
There will be a fixed thirty percent that will never comply.
The program will be a total failure and the socialized medicine, single federal employer in healthcare will offer to buy all the facilities delivering healthcare and employ all workers. They will finance the get-rich purchase to all the Healthcare groups and non-profits making them whole with government bonds that after the next three generations will still be unpaid.
After about thirty years, our kids will be middle aged and seniors and we will be dead. We will have made a mess that can’t be fixed.
yeah, that whole read the article and keep the posts real crap...this site isn’t ready for it...
There is no problem that can't be solved with the proper quantity of explosives.
yes I did. Well.. No I didn’t. Seems the state of Minnesota decided their web site should only be open from 6 am to 10 pm Monday to Friday. It’s 10:53 PM.
idiots.
Not that I would have given them my SSN or other info like that. My state is known to just email that information out at random.
I appreciate the opinion.
Have been reading some extreme things about penalties for non-compliance. If they are true, this is the biggest property grab ever devised. And it is intended to eliminate private businesses and private property.
In my own opinion, I think there will be a very hot war first. At least one as far as Texas is concerned. We are not about to accept that.
Are you logged in?
We logged onto covered California. Got the rates for the different programs. I think the gold plan was around $2200 /mo for premiun Blue Sheild and $2400 Health Net PPOs with no deductible for a family of 5. We don’t qualify for anything back from the govt.
We also got onto ehealth and got information.
We did not sign up for it because we don’t need it right now. My husband had prostate cancer 2 years ago at 50 years old. He was laid off and then started working for a start up. We get insurance, but no Cobra. The start up isn’t going anywhere, so He’s thinking of going to do some contract work, but we’ll need to purchase insurance. He’s also looking for another regular job.
I will say it’s nice that we can actually get insurance, but it’s crazy expensive. We’re pretty well to do, and I can’t imagine other’s that are not as well off spending this much on health nsurance.
However, we are the poster children for being thankful we’ve had insurance. We keep on getting hit with health issues that are rare. Besides my husband’s cancer, my identical twin daughter almost died of a repiratory illness when they were 6 weeks old and 1 has a bran injury. One of the twins who is now 16 was diagnosed with a very rare movement disorder, dystonia. We are not sure what is going on with the dystonia. Right now, it just causes writers cramp and she can’t use her left hand. It could progress to other parts of her body. If it does progress, one option is deep brain stimulation.
My husbands cancer was also stage 3. So far he’s been cancer free since sugery, but it would be bad if the cancer comes back.
So we are a weird family, and it’s been great that we have had insurance.
