Today, our Certified Application Counselor was finally able enroll someone online!
The woman was able to look at different plans and compare them.
The woman was paying over $500 a month for insurance. She selected a plan is $250/ month, and with her tax subsidy, it will end up costing her $70/ month.
Stay tuned for more details on this story!
*As a side note, though, navigators and certified application counselors (CACs) do not have any special access or magic powers to access the Marketplace. Our CAC has been receiving many phone calls from people looking for her to get them access to the Web site. The best they can do is sit down with you and hope it works. If not, they can at least educate you about the law and answer any questions you may have.
