Several recent radio and television stories seem to indicate people signing up for insurance on the ACA exchange were all (mostly?) without insurance prior to signing up on healthcare.gov. I wonder what the statistics are for E-R forum members.
I wanted to keep the poll simple (yes, there could have been other answers). Please reply to the poll if you've signed up for health insurance on the healthcare.gov web site or are otherwise buying an "exchange" policy - including state exchanges. I think there may be other avenues to purchasing exchange plans so if you've purchased any type of exchange plan please reply.
It's a YES / NO poll:
YES if you had insurance prior to signing up on the exchange - regardless of where you purchased it: employer, individual policy, parents, etc.
NO if you did not have insurance in the recent past - lost your job, didn't take time to buy a policy, thought you were not eligible, etc.
Full disclosure: I have a non-exchange (ACA compliant) policy that I purchased several years ago. For now I'm staying with that plan. So I am not voting in the poll because I did not purchase an exchange policy.
