I haven't tried in two days, but in the past I have not been able to get in.  Got a letter from Blue Cross saying my current insurance will end 12/31/13 so I just want to see my options. I wish they had just an options website so I could see what is available, then get on the government site and buy what I want.  I was able to see the Blue Cross plans, and some others that are HMO's which I know I don't want.  No HMO for me...did that years ago, not again.  Probably will stick with Blue Cross, and doubt I get a subsidy or credit.  Even so, from what I saw on Blue Crosses site, my premium will go down.  I pay $728 a month for myself with two doc visits a year with a $30 co pay, after that I pay 100% of the costs of the visits.  50% copay for prescriptions.  I have no deductible tho.  So as I am healthy, thank goodness, even if I have a deductible I will save money as the monthly premiums will go down, and I will NOT be limited to only two covered doc visits a year.

I just wish I could get on the site, see if there are any better options, and finalize this thing!
