ACA Admin Nightmares - Welcome To Reality!

With 14 days left in this Special Open Enrollment period for the initial sign up period of the Affordable Care Act I feel a bit exhausted and vindicated that many of my predictions about the roll out have come to fruition. This post isn't about "I was right", it is really about perspective and trying to craft a strategy that will help us navigate the current environment.

Let me dive straight in and offer a quick summary of the current situation and provide some guidance.

Healthcare.Gov Misconceptions and Failures

Still A Mess

We are almost 7 weeks into the rollout of Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) and I think we can agree that the execution of the implementation has been less than perfect.

In this post I want to highlight some misconceptions I am seeing that you need to know about right now.

The "Obamacare" experience has been less than advertised so far for many US citizens looking for health insurance.

Day two of the Affordable Care Act's Open Enrollment period and we've continued to see issues with folks attempting to get traction in the form of finding an affordable plan and actually signing up.

While the biggest compliant we've heard from callers is that they simply can't get in, we have much bigger reservations as we dive into specific details in the plan offerings and also find issues with each insurer.

Government Shutdown? What Happens?

We've seen some interesting theatrics of late in the political world and I quickly wanted to write a post in order to clear up some confusion. We are getting emails and comments concerned about the threatened government shutdown and what that might do to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act or more affectionately known as "Obamacare".
