Summary: In this episode I sit down for a second interview with Darren. He discusses his experience with the healthcare.gov health insurance marketplace and other avenues of finding health insurance. The interview was done on October 20, 3013, but not much has changed since that time. Healthcare.gov is still experiencing major problems. Only about 25,000 people have signed up for insurance through the website and about another 75,000 people through state exchanges. That is only 20% of the expected number of people. Jason called in with a question about where his tax dollars go to support the Affordable Care Act. The answer includes Medicaid funding and subsidies for those who make under 400% of the federal poverty level and pay for health insurance premiums. Finally, I would like to call everyone to action to pay close attention to what is happening to the Affordable Care Act. Be involved by contacting your legislator and give your opinion. Also, call me and let me know your thoughts about the new healthcare law.
