Is there anything like this for health insurance? I have to get my own insurance but working through the marketplaces is such a pain. If there was a health insurance provider that literally just had a nice web interface I would be very likely to use it even if it's more expensive.


beyond a pain it is incredibly over priced. To the point I can no longer afford it due to making just a little bit to much for subsidies.. They want $1800/mo for my family of 4. That's more than my $1600/mo mortgage and I am 100% positive insurance provides me next to nothing since I go to the doctor less than 1 time a year.

What I ended up doing is cancelling my insurance, I pay our doctor in cash on day of services. He gives us an instant 50% discount to pay same day without insurance. I pay the fine, and get disaster insurance in case shit happens for about $20/mo.

So now, Obamacare is failing not only me, but those its designed to give free insurance to. Because those that are suppose to be paying for the free people can't even afford it and are no longer paying.

The fine is a whole different story and is literally extortion.. Give money to this private company(i only have BCBS to choose from.. nothing else) or we will hunt you down and fine you.. Capone would be proud.

Anyone who supports the current obamacare system is a sheep and a fool. They're literally only supporting it because of the name it carries. No one in their right mind can say this is a good system that supports the American people.

Not only that but, because of one simple mistake on my taxes around these stupid new forms, I'm still waiting on my 5k tax return and its nearly August.

I voted for Obama twice and have never been more dissatisfied with my health insurance.. At 35yo this is by far the worst it has ever been. Before obamacare I paid about $75/paycheck for a really nice plan from my employeer. Now it's $1800/mo and my employeers will only pay up to like $800 when I've had one.

I work for myself now so it's different.


What state are you in?
