The OBAMACARE Healthcare.gov site continues to be loaded with glitches. On Fri I spent 3 hours working with a client. We got booted off the system 3 times and was finally able to complete a registration for an account. However the site never allowed us to select a plan and order insurance. We eventually had to call the 800 number to select a plan. Even when we were on the 800 line they were unable to get payment instructions or provide a policy number.
Then Tuesday while working with another client we got his family registered for an account but he wanted to speak with his wife before selecting one of the 2 plans I recommended after looking all the selections and discussing the plan features. When they talked he signed back in to the OBAMACARE site only to find out that they had deleted the registration we had spent over an hour setting up earlier in the day!!
Then today in the paper there was an article about OBMACARE subsidy eligibility. Remember in earlier correspondence we discussed the legal challenges to OBAMACARE due to offering subsidies to families buying from the Federal Exchange or Marketplace. Remember that the laws stated that subsidies were only available for those who bought insurance from a STATE Exchange. That flaw in wording technically ruled out subsidies for those buying insurance from the Federally Facilitated Exchange or FFM. Well any way the courts ruled that all states with FFE or FFM as well as the states with a STATE Exchange are able to offer subsidy in spite of the poorly crafted bill. Another bullet dodged by OBAMACARE. Now if only they can get the stinking website to work!!!
