Well as the title said I finally made it thru the application process of the Obamacare website also known as www.healthcare.gov!

What a joke that site is... For starters every single option you select takes exactly 15 seconds to respond. This is true if you are just answering a "Yes" or "No" question. Its rather frustrating but my feelings were at least the site did not totally freeze up and crash.

Another tell tale sign the site is no where near professional is the fact that it does not display or use middle names. Sure you can enter a middle name but its considered "optional" and thus will not be displayed while you are filling out the rest of the application. This may not be a problem to most, but in my household there is more than one person with my first and last name, but we have different middle names. In this case it often made the application very confusing not knowing if I was answering for myself or my son.

The second major issue I noticed was that when trying to go back and add current insurance information I had to totally start over! Word to the wise, dont try and modify the additional information area otherwise you can count on having to re-fill almost the entire application! And thats waiting 15 seconds for each and every one of them questions, regardless if its a yes or no. Total time spent = over 1.5 hours!

I was also very unhappy about the fact that when I selected to have my application "Print" (for my records) it was all out of whack and pretty much printed several lines on top of one another and the format was so far off you could not even understand it! Mind you I print shipping labels and court documents regularly without issue. The only thing that printed out okay was the form for eligibility which was in Adobe format.

Speaking of eligibility, it would appear that an adult such as myself, married with three dependants, making $23,000 per year DOES NOT qualify for ANY assistance! Furthermore the site goes on to say that even though I am considered to be "qualified" for assistance the state of Michigan has chosen not to offer you this new health coverage at this time! LOL! WTF!? I thought it was the "Law of the land"!?

The only good thing about this is the fact it also says "You are not required to pay a penalty for not having health insurance because of your income and because the state of MI declined to expand Medicade to cover individuals in your situation".

So It would seem that Obama care is NOT all its cracked up to be, and a guy making $23K per year with a family of four does not qualify for assistance in any way shape or form. While it would have been nice to get some coverage I think its total bullshit that the Democrats keep saying this healthcare plan is the next best thing to sliced bread because it isnt! Perhaps if I was Black or Hispanic I might have been considered for assistance? I cant say for sure because Im white and I dont lie on applications but it sure seems strange that a guy with 3 dependants making only $23K per year cant even get some assistance with insurance. So it would seem for a guy in my situation Id have to pay FULL PRICE for insurance which may well cost me more than half my annual income! At that cost Ill be more than sick, Ill be out on the street because things are tight enough as is!

So someone PLEASE tell me what good Obama care is? My wife and I will remain uninsured, with absolutely nothing to have gained from Obama care but increased cost for a private policy should we ever seek out insurance!

So PowerStroker! What have you got to say for yourself and Obama care now?

HERE IS THE PROOF!

Here is my copy of the application. Good luck trying to read it.

Proof I completed the Obama care website.

Results of my application with a family of FOUR (4) on a $23,000 per year income.

Very sad... And Democrats say they are helping people get insurance? Yet I noticed during the application it asked if you were filling out the application on your "Own" or part of the "Navigator" program. There was a few other ones too... I guess these were just thinly veiled questions asking ones political affiliation. Given the fact I selected "Own" that must have meant Republican, thus no insurance for me. Had I got ACORN... errrr... I mean the Navigator team to fill mine out would that have changed things? I am guessing so, since ACORN has been known to seek out voters from beyond the grave, so what's a little mojo in getting someone health insurance right?

What a jip! What a bunch of lying ass bastards! Thanks for nothing, and that comes from the whole family! Go ahead, find someone to blame... It's Bush's fault right!?
