I also signed up at the Hawaii Health Connector. Didn't really think we qualified for subsidized health care insurance but wanted to be on record as having inquired. I was correct, we didn't qualify for subsidized health care insurance. So I did my own research and found a good plan that costs me a ton of money but hey, now I've got health insurance. Through the private sector. Only thing is, I'm SERIOUSLY glad that the ACA is in place, to prevent the all-benevolent private sector from charging me twice what I'm paying and disqualifying my wife for having preexisting conditions.
So here's where I'm not understanding the previous posters: you guys are trying to sign up for SUBSIDIZED health care insurance, and you're bitching about it. While standing in line for your handout, you're bitchng about how bad it is that you are being forced to get health insurance that is partially paid for by your fellow taxpayers, when what you'd rather be doing is getting turned down for insurance by an unfettered private sector insurance underwriter because of that mole you had removed last summer. Or getting charged triple what the ACA is asking you to pay. Or whatever.
Is that about right?
