Sell health insurance across state lines? Sounds so reasonable right? Learn the truth about Trump's executive order allowing this:

Under many Republican health reform proposals, insurance companies would be able to sell their policies across state lines.

See your individual health care rights at Healthcare.gov. Get high-quality, low-cost coverage under Obamacare at the Health Insurance Marketplace

It is gratifying to see so many more people now seem to understand that the ACA, while not perfect, is by far a better deal than going without health insurance. It seems public awareness of the issues has benefitted from Congress's near disastrous near repeal. And thanks to Trump for some inadvertant help! (See below)

It's safe to say everyone is surprised.

FYI Obamacare is not "imploding"! That is fake news, not supported by any evidence. Rather it is under attack by the administration. But most of it still survives and offering affordable, quality coverage to 10s of millions of low income Americans. Yes, out of pocket premiums for the middle class are unfortunately going up, but this is only because our government refuses to make the few minor adjustments needed to fix that. If you don't already have health insurance, it's worth checking out, and may well save your life or your health. Spread the word!!

The Affordable Care Act’s fifth open enrollment season starts Wednesday, but after months of attacks in Washington, many consumers are confused about the law.

Need Obamacare? Remember open enrollment this year only goes from November 1st to December 15th, and the federal government website will be shut down on every Sunday during that period, except for December 10th! Visit healthcare.gov for the federal website, or if your state has their own marketplace, find that website with a Google search and go there. The administration has cut subsidies to insurance companies, but that will actually not affect most of your premiums next year, because of the requirements of the law, which is still in effect. Don't go uncovered next year!!
