A Hassle to Sign Up but Premiums Sharply Decreased

When MNSure went online in Minnesota, it was plagued with glitches. I was able to register online but unable to select a plan. I tried repeatedly to select a plan but the website wouldn’t let me. I finally called MNSure and was put on hold for about two hours before I gave up. Finally, in the weeks before the signup deadline, MNSure adequately staffed their call center and I was able to reach a very helpful representative who helped me select a plan through Preferred One. It cost me about $2000 LESS per year than my previous policy. I was ecstatic! I have used my coverage several times without any problems. MNSure has been great for me. Preferred One has now announced that they are not going to be selling policies through MNSure next year so I don’t know what the future holds, but I never did before when I was on my wife’s employer’s group policy, either. I expect that my premium will go up, just as it always did before Obamacare.
