Open enrollment is...
still open in California.
Just talk to a Certified Insurance Agent. Your agent can even help you find a plan that is off-exchange. But only for the next 13 days!!The Government figures that the best way to get fewer uninsured is to make it IMPOSSIBLE to get health insurance 10½ months out of the year.
But Certified Enrollers--including Certified Insurance Agents--have until April 15th to get you enrolled.
April 15th is a good day. Nothing else is happening that day that is government related.
So, what genius at CoveredCA decided that that was the day to have another crush of sign-up activity?
Go figure.
If you qualify for subsidies, this is the last chance this year to cash in. If you don’t qualify for subsidies, you still have the same deadline even for policies that are not on the exchange. Genius alert: let's make it ILLEGAL to buy private health insurance EXCEPT during an open enrollment period. What a terrific idea?!?!
On Monday, May 31st (the ostensible deadline), there were hundreds of people lined up, taking off work, waiting for hours, to get their government health care taken care of. If only they would have known that have the whole first half of April to take care of it. Could at least some of them have managed to fit in the enrollment without disrupting their work schedule???
Speaking of geniuses in government...
The Administration says that 90% of people who “enrolled” in Obamacare have paid their premium. Really?
What kind of dream world do they live in?
It calls into question all the other unbelievable things they have been saying. Yet again.
