re: #72 goddamnedfrank

It’s worth mentioning that this problem is primarily being experienced by people who live in states that refused to set up their own exchanges. CoveredCA is well designed and is functioning smoothly, and is serving the most populous state in the Union. The Feds could probably have done better, but they’re trying to cudgel together a system that covers a ton states, insurance companies, and commissions that have basically behaved in the most immature, recalcitrant manner imaginable.

Basically if you live in a red state right now you’re lucky to have any kind of access to an exchange. Also, if you’re poor and live in most red states, you’re fucked because most red states refused the Medicaid expansion.

Why do you hate my state of residence? Governor Dipshit turned down the Medicaid expansion and we have only 1-2 vendors in our exchange.
