The option for insurance for "Only You" gets you a drop down box for 49 and under or 50 and older. Not much help but it's more info than they offered before.
I don't blame you for being moody over this. I have been dealing with all these unknowns and a 10-31-13 time limit for our only other option of health care insurance (DH's very expensive retiree plan) by myself since DH has no interest or desire to know about these things.
So yesterday I asked him if I could have 20 minutes of his time to explain what I've learned and where we stand and what the issues are. Things like insurance options, spreadsheets, costs and impact to our monthly expenses make him uncomfortable and itchy so I need to keep it all direct and compact. He sat through the whole explanation and understood where we're at and why I'm antsy about it. We still can't DO anything until HealthCare.gov gets it's act together but he agreed with my approach and the contingency plan.
I felt better just sharing it with him rather than having the entire burden on my mind.
Not only that, but it gives you "catastrophic plan" quotes for 50 year olds..what the heck is that about? They are not even allowed to be bought except for the under 30 crowd. Come on government, you can surely do better than that!
