You pretty much have to buy from a private company here in Maryland. First, it's a good way to keep the government from learning still more about you. More importantly, under the leadership of Martin O'Malley and Anthony Brown Maryland's homegrown exchange is a disaster. It doesn't work and they just voted to abandon it. Developing a new exchange will cost the taxpayers $50,000,000. O'Malley has presidential plans and Brown wants to be the next governor here; neither of them deserves greater responsibility and they have proven it. Get the word out about these two fiscal disasters if you're outside this state. I know nothing of the Maryland exchanges... and what I've seen of O'Malley, I kinda like... sometimes governors are a disaster at home but do rather well on the national level... maybe getting rid of him would help... that's what some of my friends in Texas told me... <input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden"> You make a good point! FDR comes to mind. The joke was that New Yorkers voted for him as president, because they wanted him gone from their state. But so beloved at the national stage. Ronald Regan's favorite President! It's so difficult to handicap these things... Bill Clinto was hooted off the stage at the 1988 Democrat Convention. Yet.... Maybe Martin, with his parish priest delivery is just another Father Coughlin awaiting to be embraced by a fickle American public. |

Obama must be the chosen one it's a miracle the day before ACA hits a deadline millions somehow are able to sign up in less then 24 hours'. Don't we have over 350 million people in this country that number still looks low. We got the snake flags waving around town which says don't tread on me. The president is treading on many citizens and they don't like it and if you want to fine me or take my home for not signing up go ahead and try. Well, remember, he had his storm troopers from the OFA signing people up in Mexican embassies, the bimbos and airheads from Hollywood, and any sports stars not in prison right now shilling for his "legacy", so I'd venture to guess that most of those signing up were either illegals, or duplicates. |

You are not required to purchase from the government exchange... you can still buy from a private company... but the difference in cost may surprise you... have you checked?...

You would if the Pubs had passed the ACA and were bragging about sudo numbers.  Not really true... but I'd never convince you of that... and I'm not gonna try... I'm more "middle of the road" than you think... <input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden"> I'm convinced. Why didn't you reply to my post about why I cancelled my previous policy? |

Why didn't you reply to my post about why I cancelled my previous policy? First off, I was kinda confused because you responded to the wrong post I had made... and I had asked you if someone (an insurance company perhaps) had cancelled your policy... from your response, it seems that you cancelled the policy and are/were trying to replace it... I was just curious as to if an insurance company had cancelled it... that seems to be about what most folks I hear about are complaining... but, like I said, it's really none of my business... |

Maryland has a 2 term limit on Guvs so we have no need to foist him off on anyone. He is gone or will be except for the slime trail.

Nope, I cancelled. I'm just complaining about the increase in costs, which are opposite of what was promised. |

Without knowing what you went from and what you are trying to go to... I can't comment... but if she was on a teacher's group policy and you are trying to go to something different than that... it could be substantially higher... regardless of the AHA... good luck...

I wasn't talking about the difference in price between her policy and a new individual policy. I was talking about the difference in price between the individual policy I had 8 months ago and a comparable policy now, same coverage limits, same deductible, etc. There's really nothing to comment on. It's $400 to $500 more now for basically the exact same thing. |

I think I am beginning to understand what you meant in your comments from "yesterday, 4-2, at 8:10am"... you had an individual policy THEN went on your wife's policy and NOW are... or have been... trying to go back to an individual policy... Not having paid for healthcare coverage for over 40 years, I can't comment... I was lucky enough to have a good union job where my insurance coverage was paid in full by the company till about three years ago when we started having to pay a little of it...

I'll ask the insurance broker when we talk to him. I wouldn't have had to go through the process of enrollment again, ARGH!!!  |

If law abiding folks who got kicked off their previous plans weren't forced to go the Government route, no way they get 7 million. The ACA is enrolling previously uninsured, but it's not 7 million. But none of this matters, as I've stated elsewhere, because you only believe what you want to believe. |

Knocking people off the plans they were told they could keep by the president is really a sneaky for him to get the numbers for his unaffordable healthcare program. |

The excuses for losing their plans under Obamacare was simply because they were junk plans. Of course what it means to be a junk plan is never explained. |

I think the Bronze plan is junk, I find it hard to imagine one that is worse. It will be interesting to see how people who buy this kind of plan actually manage to pay their health care deductibles if they ever need to use that insurance. |

A large part are illegals, and a large part haven't paid a premium. And no one knows how many were shunted into Medicaid instead of Puppettax. |
