Suggest that those who have health insurance with no plans to change and are just curious about it…stay off for the 1st month, so that the people actually buying can obtain their coverage. I am curious and want to see it as well – but I’m going to wait so purchasers can get set.
I don’t think so many people were on it because “they are excited” but because they want to go over all their options to get insurance so they don’t get penalized.
Hey wvagt, I don’t think they will get many of the young going anytime soon. Every rate projection I have seen is that they are getting hosed. I heard on the news that 65,000 went online in Illinois and only 1,100 followed through to apply which is a 1.7% close rate. Like you, I don’t think they were excited to see the deductibles, out of pocket or the premiums.
Let’s see, the government spent $370 million to get the exchange set up, knew when it would roll out three years later and it is full of bugs. Sounds to me like the government geeks are not too good on IT stuff. Week two and most are still down for repairs/maintenance. Typical of our disfunctional government.
Just like the federal government promised to fix the post office which is about $15 billion under water? Or promised to secure the border with Mexico, or the promised fixes for fraud in Welfare or fraud in Medicaid or promised funding and fix for Medicare (They actually pulled $716 Billion out of Medicare to fund ACA). I can’t wait to see this smooth running, efficient, low cost Federal program. It will be the first in History. I can’t wait!
Hey Sargeant. Yes, fixes promised just like the other promises made like – If you like your plan, you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep him. Gee, I wonder what all these non renewals going out mean to the consumers. Could it mean that you can’t keep the plan you liked after all?
It appears, by the number of 1st day callers, that many Americans are, in fact, wanting to purchase their own insurance. Remember, those of us who are healthy, working and insured are light years away from the unemployed, uninsured person who has come down with a disease or had an unfortunate accident. Not everyone has equity in a home or even a cushion any longer. Anyone who has had a child born with an ailment knows all too well the pain and anguish of not knowing how to afford or find medical care.
Like, the naysayers about social security, let’s give it a chance to work.

People will be excited when they see the premiums, deductibles, and copays, too, and curious about how they’ll be able to afford it.
Of course they’ll be able to afford it. This is the Affordable Care Act afterall.

My agency wouldn’t last long with a 1.7% close rate.

Dear Sargeant Major:
Don’t forget Bush II’s promise to get Bin Laden dead or alive. As it turns out, Bush II really meant “or not at all.
