I am enrolled. Took all day--but it's done. [View all]

Yeah, I waited till the last minute. Not something I normally do. My husband was told when he started his job there'd be insurance...so we waited, and waited, only to be told no insurance they'll give compensation toward buying it.

So here I sat no insurance.

First let me say I supported ACA. My husband nor I would be able to get insurance without it; so I'm very grateful that President Obama did this.

I called the 800 number fully expecting to be on hold for a while..

First person answered after I was on hold for 40 minutes...talked for about 25 seconds then transferred where I waited for 3 1/2 hours before I got a recorded message: due to technical difficulties we cannot answer your call at this time--disconnected. WHAAAATTTTT?!?!?!

Called back waited for 45 minutes, disconnected again.

I decided to enroll on line. I had already checked out all the plans in my state..narrowed down to 3. I called the insurance company to find out about meds & docs. So I'd done most of the work already.

I hate doing anything like this over the internet...but off I went....


..... 40 minutes later I'm enrolled first payment made all set for a effective date 5/1.

Oh and I got dental too!!

We still have a lot of work to do to get effective health care in this country. The premiums & deductibles vs what they cover are outrageous.

The drug companies need a kick in the ass they're thieves and liars. I'm on a drug that's every bit of 30 years old and STILL NO GENERIC....that's unacceptable.

I'm happy I was able to get covered--it's a mixed bag though.

Some people are helped by the ACA some not so much, and others not at all.

Until everyone has equal health CARE we're not done fighting.

It shouldn't be survival of the richest.
