In reply to the discussion: Congratulate Me! Got my best insurance plan ever, starting January. [View all]SoapBox
(18,791 posts)22. freshwest, congratulations!
Every success story is good to hear.
Ya know I've got say that I feel lucky to have great coverage through my employer.
The other thing is that I moved my Mom (92!) in with me about 4 years ago...moved her from Oregon to SoCal. Sheesh...she was actually WAY over paying in OR compared to the plans in SoCal. There is good competition (or at least there has been) here. I've had her in Advantage plans and they have worked great, especially for her meds.
I can hardly wait to see what the Pukes and Baggers do/say, as the enrollment hits a million plus!
Again, congrats.

Luckily, I didn't have to call or log in, and don't do Faux. But that's good advice for some. Thanks

First, I didn't go to the website or call. I sought out insurers who were seeking to expand.
