Any healthcare exchange news from Ilinois?

I haven't been able to get onto the exchanges yet. Anybody able to access it?

1. The Chicago Tribune has a good article about it:

They are encouraging people to keep trying.

I don't have person experience trying the websites.

2. IL doesn't have its own website: it's using the federal exchange

That federal website is taking the traffic for 36 states, so yes, it's hard to get on. Keep trying at healthcare.gov, or wait a few weeks.

3. Crains' had an article that said the best deals will be in western Illinois.

Actually I think it was north western Illinois - especially around the area near Dubuque Iowa - on the Ill side that is.
Du Page, Lake and ???? would be the most expensive. Sorry I can't pull up the article but I'm not a subscriber. I was able to get a brief peek at it yesterday.

4. I wonder why insurance will be cheaper there I'm going to seach for the article.

Isn't Crains conservative leaning?

5. Yes, its a business oriented rag for sure.

The money difference wasn't great - like maybe under fifty bucks.
