I saw the light and stayed many miles away from obamacare, here is a great quote from a person that bought the bullshit........

1) Make pot of coffee so you can stay up all night hitting Reload button on your browser
2) Use up all your employment personal days to spend 40+ hours on phone with nameless bureaucrats to find out what happened to your application
3) Go to Post Office to buy a dozen stamps
4) Go to Staples to buy printer ink so you can print out application in triplicate
5) Take some more vacation days to spend hours on phone with nameless bureaucrats to find out why you haven't received your card yet
6) Go to doctor's office with card and find out she's not in your network, despite state's exchange website saying she is
7) Take some more vacation days calling around to see what doctor is in your network, while your cyst or rash or whatever gets worse
8) Go to doctor's office at long last and be told that your card was rejected because insurer has no record of your enrollment
9) Fill out TurboTax and find out your taxes have gone up in order to save you money on ObamaCare
10) Go to ER with rash all over your body and cyst the size of a watermelon and get in line behind mob of illegals with colds and splinters
11) Vote for Hillary

I've yet to encounter anyone in real life who has had any problem with it, I see it only online.

I have not meet anyone that is on it. So I'm just going by what people say about it and how much all the Doctors I've talked to hate it because it takes over 120 days to get paid, some have yet to get paid for work they did in March.

That's much too long to wait to get paid. I think even 60 days is too long to wait for your money.

I went and bought insurance right under the wire. Very few problems with the Cigna site, pricy, but more or less painless

There is nothing different other than a few tweaks and loads of bullshit to trick the public that there was a major change (good or bad) while still keeping the insurance companies happy. Same old high priced shit health care as always.

I have had a private policy for 9 yrs now that started out as $193 a month and is currently $549.80 monthly. JUST for ME. The coverage is AWESOME with a $15 copay and $1000 deductible. I image next year it will be not be affordable and I will be forced to marry my DearHoney for insurance benefits only---with a $5000 deductible with no copays.

Reminds me, I need to schedule a couple more dermatologist and foot doctor appointments in the next 2 months.....

I ignored it and stayed uninsured since last year's penalty for not having insurance was marginal. I felt like those toy companies that sell dangerous toys because the amount of money they pay in lawsuits will be less than the profit from selling the toy.

BlushHe has been trying to get me to marry him for the last 7 years. Hard to do after a bad divorce that cost me years to pay. Gosh I am going to hell!
