Health insurance isn't a year-round thing anymore

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Here's more fallout from the health care law: Until now, customers could walk into an insurance office or go online to buy standard health care coverage any time of year. Not anymore.
Many people who didn't sign up during the government's open enrollment period that ended Monday will soon find it difficult or impossible to get insured this year, even if they go directly to a private company and money is no object. For some it's already too late.
With limited exceptions, insurers are refusing to sell to individuals after the enrollment period for HealthCare.gov and the state marketplaces. They will lock out the young and healthy as well as the sick or injured. Those who want to switch plans also are affected. The next wide-open chance to enroll comes in November for coverage in 2015.
It's a little-noted consequence of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, which requires nearly all Americans to be insured or pay a fine and requires insurers to accept people with health problems.
"I have people that can buy insurance, but the companies shut them down. They won't take the applications," insurance broker Steve Bobiak of Frackville, Pa., said. "We're a free country. You should be able to buy anything anytime you want."

also just because you googled doesn't make it fact.
A friend of mine's son will be applying online in Oregon next week sometime. Lets see what actually happens.
You do know where i stand on this Crapcare thing.
But i am not part of the local peanut gallery of drama queens crying about OB 24/7 to the point of absurdity.

Looks like in light of the sorry signup of youngsters etc, it is more advantageous to fine people to raise money for this disaster.
Still don't think so.

I am not saying it isn't BS. But you could have googled it yourself. Or are you just giving Soul a hard time for not posting a link?

Kind of giving Soul a hard time. If he posts he should link it too. You are right, I could have done what you did.
It just doesn't make much sense to do what they did for what seems to be the reasons and benefits to insurance companies just to lock some people from getting insurance. Business is Business, and we all want money : )

No it doesn't but they kept saying open enrollment...what the hell was that...well we just found out. Holy shit...the gift that keeps on giving.

whats the point of having an enrollement period?
why not allow people to sign up anytime? How is it better or whats the point behind limiting it?

now that I wasnt able to keep my plan..
I couldnt afford 3x as much to sign up again so now my family goes without health care coverage... oh.. that is of course we forgo eating.. then we can afford it..
What exactly is the point of only allowing it for a couple months per yer during open enrollment?
why shouldnt I be allowed to enroll in .... June for example???
im confused
