We just purchased insurance through the NYS exchange. I had to go on multiple times to get all fields filled out. We will be paying less than half of what the COBRA plan we have now. Yes, I understand the COBRA is expensive but we had to use it in the short term.
I understand this is not a perfect system but then neither was Medicare when it began. I just know I am thankful for the ACA because of pre-existing conditions.
Because I take a very low dose of blood pressure medicine I couldn't get cheaper insurance. The ACA for those of us with so called "pre existing conditions" is a good thing. I will be saving at least 40% taking in to account cash outlays and no subsidy this year. Next year, I expect to qualify for a subsidy.
