I tried using Healthcare.gov today because it was supposed to work today.

It worked fine until it got to calculating any federal subsidy I might be eligible for. It could only give me an estimate.

But the real fly in the ointment is how high the deductibles are. Most plans are $5000 and up annually. And you must pay all of it before the plan will pay a single penny.

My current health insurance annual deductible is only $300. After that is paid, my plan pays 80% of everything.

Also, the monthly premiums are pretty high. Most are above $500 per month.

So......you pay $500 x 12 yearly premiums = $6000.
Then you pay the $5000 deductible.

Bottom line...you pay $11,000 before Obamacare will pay a single dime. After that typically it will pay 80% for hospital services. But you still have to pay $40-50 co-pay for visiting the doctors in their plan, your current doctor is most likely not in their plan.

It just needs a few more shims in the patches to the workarounds.

“meets goals” = bar set so low, it would have to fall off the floor to fail.

anyone else here so sick and tired of the infamous liberal excuse,,,”well,its not where we want it to be at this time”?

Clever propaganda to lower expectations because they will NEVER be efficient unlike the Bush administration.

The disaster is not the website itself.

The disaster is still to come.

The website is like the road leading to the disaster. Once the road is paved nicely and can be driven on with no problems, it just leads to a cliff or the disaster at the end of the road.
