Healthcare Marketplace, Need I Say More?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Franklin Homes Realty LLC

Healthcare.gov, Need I Say More?The length of my call says 2:14.

Yes, I waited on hold for Healthcare Marketplace assistance for two hours and fourteen minutes before a representative finally took my call.

What did I accomplish in that time? I was able to make 20 comments on my fellow Rainers posts. I typed a Repair Proposal Request for a buyer and sent several listings to another buyer.

Back to the Healthcare Marketplace. I was finally able to get my account unlocked. Don't ask. I signed into the account, got to the third page and the system knocked me out and told me to begin again.

It's now 1:24 a.m. I have a 9 a.m. appointment on the other side of town. It's time to go to bed.

Good morning Tammie. The stories are endless, no you don't need to say more. Our health care system is really a mess, but I'm not telling you something you don't already know.

Make it a great week!

Good morning Tammy, our healthcare system is in drastic need of an overhaul.

Although this does not have anything to do with your post, I logged in this morning and you were number two in the state of Tennessee. It had to of been a glitch in the system.

Tammy, the healthcare.gov website is working great to give price quotes without giving any infomation up until you are ready to select.  I went to ehealthinsurance.com and helped my daughter select the exact same plan by UHC though an ebrokerage and it only took about 6 minutes for her to buy insurance. 

Our problem in Indiana is the rates are just brutal.  Ours went up 82% and there is no competitive pricing among plans on the exchanges.  I can buy my same exact health insurance plan if I lived in Oklahoma City for $689 per month less!!!  I will select a plan for us today on ehealthinsurance.com today as we only have 1 shopping day left to have insurance coverage by January 1st.  Good luck!

Boy,  that is just ridiculous.  I bet they think most callers will give up and hang up.  Don't you wonder what the person on the other end of the call was doing all that time.  I can see someone sitting back in their chair filing their nails or something.

More glitches. I may be forced to go that same route in a few months. But in two years, Medicare here I come if it is still funded.

What a terrible thing, you waited for hours just for the system to knock you out and tell you to start again? Just wow. What can be more annoying than that?

That's pretty sad when it is that backed up/not working even in the middle of the night!
