I thought it was too late to sign up for this year.
.
Me too.
Apparently not.
It's been a 5 year odyssey/nightmare that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy (I've mentioned some of the issues in posts when the topic arises). It's multifaceted and very poorly understood.
Anyhow, there may be some "event" that could qualify me, but it wasn't offered during the call with the Healthcare.gov "navigator". It was depressing to simply make the call, then more so getting rejected, then rubbing salt in my wounds by assessed a "tax" for not having something that I haven't had for the last 5 years.
"I thought it was too late to sign up for this year."
I tried to sign up before one of the original deadlines - creating an account. But technical difficulties (the initial login) prevented me from going further. I called the 800# and left a message. They called and emailed me that I had until April 15th to apply. Otherwise, I think the original extended deadline was March 31st. Even the navigator was confused.
So much for "covering the uninsured". I knew it was NEVER about that - it's what Reagan said in a radio address in '68 I believe - the last plank of socialist control over the population.
I emailed my story to my TX state senators and congressmen. I'm transitioning between Austin and Round Rock so I also contacted John Conner (R) Round Rock and Loyd Doggett (Rat) Austin. I made sure Doggett understood he was part of the lie-scam and economic malaise (hello "Jimma Cata").
