Instead of saying "Screw the ACA", why don't people ask for help to find their best plans?

80. OP Content: A but OP Title: F-- Why are SOME people so accusing towards a generalised other?

I'm very interested at this point by the fact that I could have chosen a higher deductible Silver plan from Anthem instead of a low deductible Gold plan, and saved myself more than a thousand dollars in 2014 since I never met even the low deductible. So will definitely pay attention to all the suggestions from various points about how to do better in 2015.

The content of your post is just great and helpful, but the snarky accusing tone towards people having a nightmarish time navigating all the hazards of the ACA almost drove me off this site last fall. It was three months of sheer torture, hours and hours and hours on hold first with healthcare.gov and then with the insurance company. Had to get a land line after years of having cell only, rather than drive an hour to a friend's house to wait forever on hold, or pay outrageous phone bills if I called from home. Rather than be accused of being a Republican troll here for complaining about it, I just left DU. Don't add to that punitive atmosphere of accusing people of being "whiners" by a "what is wrong with you people" title for an OP the content of which is not accusing but helpful.
