Growing up, my dad would look at me and with his best imitation of W.C. Fields say, “Close but no cigar kid!” when I’d almost get the point but be just a little off on what I was saying. I was reminded of his doing that with my ongoing search for affordable health insurance through the federal exchange. I’m closer to the answers I’ve been seeking but I haven’t been awarded a cigar yet.
October 1 arrived on Tuesday, the first day to evaluate and enroll in one of the Affordable Care Act’s plans. The 17 States that have their own exchanges, along with the Federal exchange, were quickly swamped as millions of people attempted to get on and determine what the ACA meant to them personally.
There are 4 plans that will be offered under the Affordable Care Act. Enrollment will begin on Tuesday, October 1 however pricing was released on Wednesday, September 25. So this is a good time to compare pricing, especially if you’re self-employed or pay for an individual policy through Blue Cross, Aetna, etc.
