Obamacare has been far more frustrating than I’d ever dreamed.
Obamacare brought us new health insurance options, but cost us our more affordable plans.
“You will keep your health insurance,” President Obama promised in 2012.
The fact that this wasn’t true would be our biggest disappointment. In November 2013, Jim learned his small-business policy would be canceled because it didn’t comply with the new mandate to cover pediatric dentistry and maternity care. So Jim went to Covered California, the state’s health insurance exchange, to look for coverage for his employee and himself.
The individual plan I had with Blue Cross was canceled, too.
2) We learned patience, but we couldn’t keep our doctors.
The only way to decrease the cost of our premiums was to get the subsidy offered by the federal government to lower- and middle-income people. And the only way to get the subsidy was by getting insurance through Covered California. But contacting Covered California, especially by phone, was maddening. The elevator music they played on hold became our winter soundtrack.
We had applied online and sent copies of our passports to California Covered for verification, but we received no bill, no confirmation of our coverage, no insurance cards. Jim spent an hour and a half on hold once before getting disconnected. He tried again the next day, waiting another two hours before getting disconnected.
After a few more calls, Jim drove to a pop-up Covered California shop in the Laguna Hills Mall on Jan. 15, 2014, the deadline for adding coverage. He hoped to avoid website computer glitches and phone hang-ups. All we had were verbal assurances, which were not enough to see the cardiologist and a urologist at the insurance-negotiated rate. R

She is getting exactly what she deserves.
Moral....... leave California
Not everyone from CA are like these two twits. Heck, the site you are on is hosted out of CA. Its the “good” Californian’s that are keeping the state afloat at this point. The liberals fleeing the cesspool they created are not bright enough to realize they are exporting to their new locales what they left in the first place.
Bitch moan and complain all the voters want, Obama said this was going to happen and
he would transform America. What did they think? /ignorant

Nothing worse than a whiner. And a stupid whiner to bat. And, of course, this idiot lady will vote for Hillary for more of the same. Stupid is, as stupid does.
Maybe Gruber was right.....
I wonder how long the guy in the hat has been an expert in the healthcare insurance industry. Or, he may just be showing them a map of where they have to go in order to wait in the correct line.
Too bad it didn’t hurt her family more.

Let's see what the Federal Government runs in healthcare: Veterans Hospitals; Indian Health Service, MediCaid, MediCare, and probably dozens more that I'm not aware of. Which among these programs would the author choose for herself? Any? Any? And why not? She was blinded by her ideology, she was blinded by the piles of propaganda BS thrown at her by Obama, the Democrats and the media (a trustworthy bunch, if you do the opposite of what they say).
Where is the successful government program? Show us one success. Heck, show us one honest government program. That's a low standard. There aren't any. 56 years old and she never learned a thing.
