the phone people don't do shit. a local guy called them but they just talk about how great obama is but they can't do anything about signing you up, they can get you to registar to vote though. and they will even tell you you don't have to show up to vote because they will do that for ya. pretty white of them don't you think ?

If the exchanges don’t work, as a last resort, we can always get people signed up through call centers. It’s true, there are call centers. But the computer systems at the call centers for states running the insurance exchanges are the same as the computer systems that consumers are having such a hard time with. A nice woman at a federal call center told me that (at least for the state of Florida, where my in-laws live) there is an alternate procedure: They can fill out a manual application in PDF format. But she also told me that it takes three weeks for that application to be mailed to your house. After you receive it, you check the application to ensure it’s accurate, and then mail it in. One to two weeks later, you will be notified of your subsidy eligibility. Then you can actually enroll in a plan, though she wasn’t quite clear on how that part would work -- do you call back again? http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=29181130
