in health care in Washington state! And we are thrilled. My spouse will be able to finally work part-time instead of being stuck in full time-time position that he has tried twice to step down from. Because of the subsidy we will be spending over $200 less a month on our health care with better coverage than the current plan through his work as a full-time employee.
We have gone through having "catastrophic" health coverage. We have gone through the open market (thank goodness we had the incredible good fortune of having a terrific insurance broker to help us through all of that). It's a different world out there and scary sometimes.
We now will have the much needed time for our family. And we can finally take a deep breath.
We had already gone through the initial application with no difficulty. The website was down this morning for a couple of hours. But no problem. We logged in and enrolled in a matter of minutes. We have had excellent previous experience with the health provider we chose so making the choice was no problem.
(bonus- we will get airline miles on the ol' charge card too ;)
No doubt about it - this is life changing.
