Ira Stoll Tried, and Failed, To Sign Up For Obamacare

Ira Stoll made a concerted effort to try to use the Obamacare
exchange in his state. He says, “I probably spent about seven hours
on the site in four or five sessions over the past few months.
Theoretically, I’m the sort of person who might benefit from the
program. I don’t work for a big company that provides health
insurance for its employees. We had been getting our family health
insurance by paying for a “cobra” policy that extended the benefits
my wife had gotten from her former job, but that has an 18-month
time limit. So we need new health insurance for our family
effective January 1, 2014. In the past, I had bought health
insurance through the Authors Guild. But because
Obamacare outlawed individual policies of the sort that
had been available through the Guild, that is no longer an option.”
Stoll says he really did try to get a policy, but the website was
simply “non-functional.” He puts the finger on Obama, who himself
admitted that he “screwed it up.”
