Im convinced though based on what should be available under the reform my family of 4 should be able to get the coverage we have a lot less expensive.I just cant even register ARGHHH!!!

It's going to be an interesting epic tale methinks. Yet another bureaucratic wonder of the world.

So, will the system be up and running by 2014 when the "penalty" whoops meant "tax" kicks in if you don't have insurance? Guess they had better be getting their Amish IT contractor working on the problem.:D:sorry1:

Does anyone know if the shutdown is affecting this? I mean, it would make sense, seeing as other government websites, like the CDC and Pubmed, do not currently have support.

Haven't hear a peep out of the White House or other leaders in the Democratic party that the shutdown is affecting the system. They probably can't get in to figure it out.:D

Yeah, I haven't heard anything either, which I found surprising.

I have a doctors appointment Thursday, and I am going to ask about what sort of insurance to look for to sign up for. Then depending on how things go, see if there is anyway to start using before the new year.

No one I know has been able to sign up.

Very likely. The system is new and weighted down with heavy traffic. Once the initial waves of signups and checking things out are down the amount of traffic will eventually lessen and the server will not be as strained as fewer people are on it at once.

The insurance wont take effect even if you get signed up now until Jan 1st 2014.So I don't want to be back of the line.We have insurance.Blue cross.Which the premiums off the bat are more than 8% of our income.closer to 20%.Out of pocket if we all got sick would be closer to 100% of our income.A family of 4.

Im trying again. :) I wont give up./

If not? They need to just admit it and hold off any penalties.I have insurance (private )and I can not sign up.

Well, I went to the doctor and the wanna-be-so-called nurse practioner did not really address my knee, but instead ordered tests for things that are in no-way-shape-or-form related to my knee. She didn't even talk about insurance. So I'm back to step one in trying to find a doctor who will see me, but this time the new criteria is one that isn't going to be concerned about hormone levels when asked about a ****** up knee.

That has nothing to do with sexual status.This is BASIC things like a HUMAN getting an infection in their apendix.

I think what infuriated me the most was when I asked her if she could show me how to use my cane without hurting my wrists, she told me no.
*Note to self: looking responsible and paying ahead of time isn't really that good of a thing to do when going to a new doctor.*

This is my healthcare experience as of yesterday.

Was able to enroll and get to view the plans here in FL. 137 options and the cheapest appeared to be $224.
There were no 'catastrophic' options, only bronze and up.
The bronze highest deductible option was $6500.
The enrollment steps were repetitive and buggy. I had to start over once or twice.
The odd thing is that it told me I had a $0 tax credit. Which has to be a bug considering the income I entered. (under $30k)

There's definitely bugs in the software and procedures that they need to get fixed. I had issues going to healthcare.gov using Firefox, so I tried IE and it was the browser that allowed me to get through the process.

So, maybe they should delay this until they get all the "bugs" worked out of the system? Gee at a price tag of somewhere around $360,000,000 to some estimate as much as $600,000,000 just to connect you to an insurance company you would have thunk they could have done a better job. It didn't cost Apple this much to design the iPhone (around $150 million)

I've heard that, Rush actually was the first place. You'd think it would work. I've currently got insurance so there's no issues. I'll have to talk to someone about the tax credit.

Let us know when you find someone to ask the question to and how long it took. With the present issues with just signing up I think you might have a long wait and my not like the answer you get. Oh, just out of curiosity what is your "out-of-pocket" expenses...the deductible. You did say bronze plane didn't you. I understand it is 60/40 capped at $6350.
