Affordable Care Act Scene 2 - Insurance Premiums

<p>How could you be a Big Ten hater?</p>

<p>Because the football is overrated. Stanford is going to spank Michigan State.</p>

<p>Oh, no, a hater!!</p>

<p>romani, the message says: "Access Denied
You don’t have permission to access "<a href=“http://www.healthcare.gov/health-plan-information/“&gt;http://www.healthcare.gov/health-plan-information/&lt;/a&gt;” on this server.”</p>

<p>Okay, how do I change servers? And why would I need permission on any server?
Weird.</p>

<p>Football is overrated. Agreed. It isn’t really my favorite sport, either. </p>

<p>Stanford is a beautiful school.</p>

<p>Bd, I found someone with that issue and how they solved it. I’ll PM you.</p>

<p>Busdriver, </p>

<p>It was probably all that negative ACA talk. NSA blocked your server access. ;)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Nah, probably not. It’s not the kind of thing that keeps me up nights.</p>

<p>

Actually, they might - I have a friend who is an expat living in Colombia (but who apparently wants to buy insurance) and she also gets an “access denied” message. </p>

<p>But I think its more likely for other reasons.</p>

<p>Have you tried using stealth mode on your browser?</p>

<p>Someone else in another forum I frequent, an American who was temporarily living in Canada, also got Access Denied at healthcare.gov.</p>

<p>I believe I posted here that I also had access denied on federal site the first week of operation. </p>

<p>I would utilize Covered California, but ai wanted to see the process firsthand. I never tried different browser - just focused on Covered Cal, at that point.</p>

<p>For what it’s worth, this isn’t an uncommon problem as I found plenty with a quick google search (both related to the healthcare.gov site and related to sites in general). </p>

<p>This was an answer specific to the healthcare.gov site:
<a href=“https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971968[/url]”>https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971968&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It also seems that people seem to be having the most issues with Firefox but are often able to access it on other browsers.</p>

<p>Calmom knows what her deductible is. :)</p>

<p>No Firefox for me. Just Safari, regular mode.</p>

<p>Safari is a complete mystery to me, SLS! LOL</p>

<p>Nah, it doesn’t matter. Two glasses of wine later, I don’t remember why I tried to view it anyways. Must have been a reason. Just a matter of another glitch, I suppose. I have the problem on internet explorer. Maybe I should install firefox.</p>

<p>I have enough glitches of my own right now. Broken pipes, jeez! They are happening all over Seattle. Thank God I wasn’t gone from home for too long when it happened. Just imagine if I was gone for a week.</p>

<p>Anyway, Michigan is a “partnership state.”</p>

<p>Bus driver, would the fed exchange let you on if you’re in a state with your own exchange? I suspect it would tell you to go to the Washington exchange…did you enter what state you were in?</p>

<p>Unless you are masking your IP, the website would know where you are coming from. It would be surprising they would just deny access without asking you to go to your own website though if they are blocking based on the IP. Hopefully if this what they are doing, they would at least set up a redirection feature or provide a message about denial in future.</p>

<p>It is not uncommon for my bank account to lock me out when I am accessing it from another country and send me a new code by email to validate me when I retry (hacking security feature). Google always sends me to the local country website even when I say dot com.</p>

<p>As I mentioned a few pages back, I was on the Healthcare.gov website yesterday and had no problem getting through the entire process, but stopped at the point of comparing plans because we need a little more time… to compare plans. So we have not selected, enrolled in, and paid for a 2014 plan yet, but the website worked very well. Will probably finish today or tomorrow. </p>

<p>Deductibles are important, but we have avoided paying any money towards our deductible for 5 years. When we see a doctor in a doctor’s office we pay a co-pay only for that in office service, so it’s $15 or $25 for a visit to the doctor (no co-pay for the annual physical + blood workup) and $25 or $50 for a visit to a specialist, such as a dermatologist or a urologist. Relatively small co-pay is all I have spent for doctor visits that have included a colonoscopy and several expensive surgeries to remove basal cell carcinomas, and even a “bluelight” treatment at the dermatologist. Everything done in-office was co-pay and did not require me to pay the first $2500 or $3500. If I required hospitalization, or had a diagnostic test in a hospital setting, or had a colonoscopy or surgery in a hospital setting, I would have had to pay the first $2500 or $3500 (my deductible changed) towards my deductible.</p>

<p>There’s a difference between not having the ded on the top of your mind- and truly being ignorant. Can we get past that?</p>

<p>Where are others being blocked in healthcare.gov? From the start or deeper in? Cuz I can get pretty far and we have our own exchange. I didn’t enter my own state name. I looked at IL and MS rates, was offered a chance to set up an account for both. Tried one on IE and other on Chrome.</p>
