I'm just wondering if anyone has actually applied for health care in the "Obamacare" exchanges that opened Tuesday. I went in and looked at it, but since I wouldn't be eligible for any subsidy (I make too much money and my employer has a health care plan), I didn't register or look at the options.
I've heard that there were no applications at all from some states the first day, but I suspect those are states who did not set up their own exchanges and instead just used the federal program. I've seen screen captures of plans, most of which looked pretty expensive and had very high annual deductibles. But I want to hear what real people who actually need health insurance and are eligible for subsidies are finding.
(I've also heard that there are hackers lurking with fake sites, so be careful! I'm sure they'll be pretty actively pursued, so report it if you think you've found one of those.)
