Be Careful When Selecting a New Health Plan

I was looking in October, but couldn't get into the MP. So I went to the ehealthinsurance.com site where I'd bought health insurance before, and found the plans & rates. Talked to them by phone and they assured me that if I signed up through them, they would transmit the info to the MP so I would stay eligible for subsidies. Well, in Nov. I did sign up on ehealthinsurance.com for a BCBS plan. But, guess what? They never transmitted anything to the goverment! So I had to cancel everything. There was no other way, I would not have gotten a subsidy. The insurance saleman's lips must have moved... you know what that means! I learned my lesson.

Now actually I've decided to sit out a year and wait for things to get fine tuned.
