Anyone here been successful yet? I've had nothing but issues. Had to log out 8 times already and then start the section over due to an error page or the page hanging. Still trying to get through all the "optional" "other questions" but it's stuck at asking if my 16 year old has reconciled her 2014 APTC.
I wouldn't be on the damn gov't website if I wasn't forced to by obamacare - I'd have had cheaper and better (it was then) insurance without having the gov't involved.
So what's your story?
It wasn't that bad for me yesterday. Took a few minutes to log in b/c I forgot my password. When I was in it asked me if I wanted to renew my 2015 plan, which I did not. I answered many questions that were intended to update my family situation. I got my eligibility determination and was sent to the plan selector.
I've had some issues but they're mostly benign and just pet peeves:
If you log out after updating your family info and getting your eligibility determination but before selecting a plan you're forced to go through a family info review and eligibility determination before getting back to the plan selector. Once you have the eligibility determination any subsequent logins should take right back to the plan selector.
If you click on the box to add a plan to your comparison chart it reloads the page at the top. If you're looking to add several plans to the comparison chart you are continually having to re-scroll through the list.
The comparison chart will only show three plans side-by-side at a time. That makes it difficult to appropriately compare costs and benefits. I had to input data into an Excel sheet so I could better compare when I was narrowing my list down from 10.
Other than that my only difficulty was in wasted time due a combination error on my part and perhaps illegal lack of notification by an insurer. (I signed up for my current plan in August for a 10/1/2015 start date due to a qualifying event. I made sure my family's providers were in the network. In signing up for 2016 coverage I only have 2 insurers available to me, one of which is my current one. I limited my choices to that insurer b/c my docs are in network. Only after narrowing my choices down to 2 did I check the provider list and find out that NONE of my docs are in network. Stupid error on my part, I should have checked first, but also illegal move on the insurer's part because they're required to notify me if my designated PCP leaves the network, which they did not.)
