Applying for Health Insurance: Then and Now

1 decade 1 year 1 month 3 weeks ago

(youtube) In which John Green attempts to apply for new health insurance coverage using the Affordable Care Act's insurance exchanges and then through a private insurer that existed before the ACA (aka Obamacare) went into effect.

It's of course too soon to tell which of these options will be cheaper, which will offer the best coverage, and so on, but I wanted to explore how the (still very glitchy) exchanges compare to the pre-ACA experience of trying to get approved for coverage.

Can't wait for the exchanges for fire insurance.

And since the gov't is usually not allowed the resources to hire a crack web application developer and server resources. They usually have to contract out for such things. In all likelyhood, it's a private company responsible for the server issues.

In addition, it's ALSO likely that since it's federal, they contract a lot of their stuff out to Booz Hamilton, the same company that hired....ta da! Edward Snowden!!
