Experience tells a different story

Posted January 03, 2014 4:00 am

I’ve been following all the negative commentaries mimicking Fox News talking points about the Affordable Care Act. I haven’t heard from anyone complaining who’s actually tried to obtain health care.

I have. It was a very straightforward process, a little lengthy on the online side, but the final registration over the phone took less than 20 minutes. I’ve spent four times as long on the phone trying to get errors resolved with Comcast, so this seemed like a piece of cake.

The premium for good coverage with BlueCross was far less than I expected to pay. As someone who’s actually gone through the process, I’m extremely pleased and would recommend it, contrary to what the indoctrinated, uninitiated may want everyone to believe.
