OK.....submitted my choice of plan in NY......they gave me a confirmation number........will wait a few days and then call the insurance provider and see if they ever heard of me..........note current plan was discontinued so I have to get something. The plan I chose is good but it forces me to limit income in order to get a subsidy.....lowering my cost to what I pay this year.

In New York, one of only 16 states that has its own exchange, not one person had succeeded in using the site to enroll in a plan as of Friday. Donna Frescatore, director of the New York State of Health marketplace, said Friday that 134,000 people had registered and shopped on the state’s online health care site since its Oct. 1 launch, and thousands signed up to enroll in a plan. ....... weaselzippers.us This was supposed to be one of the successful ObamanableCare states. And it's a big state. "Thousands signed up to enroll" means more than a thousand. If it was more than 10K, they would have said tens of thousands. "134,000 registered and shopped" means that many were curious. I've been against ObamanableCare from the beginning, but I had no idea it would be such an incredible failure. Before ObamanableCare, 85% were insured and were happy. Of the other 15%, most didn't and don't WANT insurance. The involuntarily uninsured are a tiny fraction of the country and Detroitocrats, for no reason other than ideology, have fiddled with that happy 85% on behalf of a largely imaginary problem. I'm not going to be really happy about the ObamanableCare disaster until and unless, the Detroitocrats are swept from power by an outraged public.
