I called my insurance company again today, but this time a different line because I needed to talk to a "dedicated Health Plan Advisor" for this issue. I have this brochure they sent me about tax credits for these new Obamaplans, and it said to call to determine my eligibility and receive more info.
On hold, the audio was a little different. There was even a message about these tax credits! It describes the tax credit, and then says "To determine eligibility--" and then cuts off and goes back to the same grating piano solo as before.
I wasn't on hold very long though, being that I was calling a different department. Still, I wouldn't have bothered calling if I had known it was just going to be an old man describing how to use CoveredCA.com to me... This whole brochure and "call for more info" suggestion could've been summarized as "Go to CoveredCA.com and fill trout out."
The best part though was that the site is bogged down today due to the February 1st deadline, and the "Apply Now" button was taking a very long time to work. The Heath Plan Advisor's advice? Click it more firmly. Apparently that helps for him.
I'm filling out the application now. It's taking a minute or two per page to load. Let's see what Obama's been up to...
