20. My experience hasn't been so good

Thu Nov 14, 2013, 05:02 PM

Nov 2013

Some trouble with registering, finally got an account set up and went to enroll--but got a null screen. Called for help--they couldn't get the info, either. Awaiting a call-back in the next few days. HOWEVER....

Hubby fixes computers for a living. Some of the businesses he works with have specialty software, so he's on the phone to tech support a LOT. One company he says he wants to send flowers to because their crappy software has meant many hours of billable labor for him getting it to work. And that's in the business world, the private sector that is supposed to be so efficient. Perspective.

We have been doing with minimal insurance for several years since he lost his day job and I am TOTALLY willing to put up with some inconvenience to get quality insurance at a lower price (going by the Kaiser Family calculator, we'll be getting Silver tier for about 75% of what we've been shelling out for catastrophic only). Luckily, we've been healthy. I know how much illness can cost.
