<p>Romani got all the way through on healthcare.gov.</p>
<p>Forgot Romani. For some reason I thought Michigan had a state plan.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes. I don’t know how big an effect this is, though. Most health charges are incurred by people who have gone way past any out-of-pocket limit.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What do you mean a state plan? Like a state exchange or Medicaid expansion?</p>
<p>I think of those not expanding Medicaid as not having their own exchange either.</p>
<p>I am not certain which States have expanded Medicaid but chose not to have their own exchange.</p>
<p>Michigan is the most screwy state of them all IMO. We “expanded” Medicaid but it’s not expanded until April! So those of us between 100% & 133% of poverty kind of get a double whammy. We’re not eligible for the exchange but we also don’t qualify for Medicaid until April. </p>
<p>Of course, we’re still more fortunate than non-expansion states where those under 100% don’t have any options other than non-subsidy plans.</p>
<p>So…I’m still not sure. Romani, did you sign up on healthcare.gov, or does your state have their own exchange website? Because if you signed up on a different site than the federal site, that would only be a reflection of your own state website working well. Personally when I try to go onto the healthcare marketplace, all I get is a message that says, “access denied!”</p>
<p>Sorry, Michigan does not have their own exchange. We are part of the federal dotgov site. I signed up using healthcare.gov</p>
<p>I was one of the ones stuck in identity verification purgatory. After the overhaul a week ago, it was very easy to sign up.</p>
<p>I just went to the healthcare site and logged in. Seems to be working OK out here!</p>
<p>ETA: It looks like Washington isn’t using the federal system. They’re using a state one. (If I recall correctly that that’s the state you hail from 
)</p>
<p>’‘I have absolutely no idea what our deductible is.’</p>
<p>If you had a 2014 ACA-compatible individual plan, I can guarantee you would know what your deductible is.</p>
<p>“ETA: It looks like Washington isn’t using the federal system. They’re using a state one. (If I recall correctly that that’s the state you hail from)”</p>
<p>Yep, that’s true. But…why would I have access denied? They couldn’t possibly deny people access based on my internet location code. I say that, because I can’t imagine them being sophisticated enough to do it!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s interesting because I have no idea what my 2014 ACA-compatible individual plan deductible is off the top of my head. It’s easy to find out but I don’t know what it is right now.</p>
<p>busdriver, I have no idea. I’m able to get on the site just fine… is it not letting you on at all or is it just not letting you make an account?</p>
<p>This site, right? <a href=“https://www.wahealthplanfinder.org/HBEWeb/Annon_DisplayHomePage.action?authn_try_count=0&contextType=external&username=string&contextValue=%2Foam&password=sercure_string&challenge_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wahealthplanfinder.org%2FHBEWeb%2FAnnon_DisplayHomePage.action&request_id=-9113006952646987678&locale=en_US&resource_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.wahealthplanfinder.org%252FHBEWeb%252F[/url]”>https://www.wahealthplanfinder.org/HBEWeb/Annon_DisplayHomePage.action?authn_try_count=0&contextType=external&username=string&contextValue=%2Foam&password=sercure_string&challenge_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wahealthplanfinder.org%2FHBEWeb%2FAnnon_DisplayHomePage.action&request_id=-9113006952646987678&locale=en_US&resource_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.wahealthplanfinder.org%252FHBEWeb%252F</a></p>
<p>Have you tried using a different browser? 
</p>
<p>ETA: OH! Are you talking about not getting on the healthcare.gov site? I have no idea why it would say that. No, I very much doubt it’s because of where you’re located lol. </p>
<p>I don’t understand technology so I have no clue. I’d still try using a different browser just to give it a shot.</p>
<p>“That’s interesting because I have no idea what my 2014 ACA-compatible individual plan deductible is off the top of my head. It’s easy to find out but I don’t know what it is right now.”</p>
<p>That’s because you’re an alumnus of Michigan State. :)</p>
<p>Ouch, GP. </p>
<p>I hope you aren’t a Buckeye. ;)</p>
<p>Aren’t you just a peach, GP? </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, no I’m not.</p>
<p>You just got there. Maybe by the time you finish…</p>
<p>BTW, congrats on that nice MSU Big Ten win. The D was pretty happy that MSU won over that place in Ohio.</p>
<p>Alumna, I think is the correct term.</p>
<p>LOL SLS, I edited it anyway because I noticed something (yes- that was what I noticed… I am not an alumnus ;)) . And sooner than I think- I’m a few days away from being 1/4 done with my program. Yikes! </p>
<p>And thank you :). Most Michigan people were. (I stress MOST… lol)</p>
<p>It will go fast. </p>
<p>Time flies.</p>
<p>“I hope you aren’t a Buckeye.”</p>
<p>Nah, I hate the Big 10</p>
