« on: December 09, 2014, 11:36:45 AM »
Surprised there isnt one already... (Please correct me if I'm wrong and there is one).
I am trying to decide if i should go with a silver or gold plan for my wife and i. Any one here that's been on it last year that can answer some questions for me?

depends on your medical needs. do a cost/benefit analysis and see which is cheaper. No one can tell you what's best for you other than you.
Do you not get insurance from your employer?

I dont have insurance from my employer ... Not going to pay 10k for no reason.... I know it depends on medical need which is why i asked if people have done already bc then i have a follow up question about specific medical needs that many here may have had....

I don't know about anyone else but I am having a hard time navigating the whole system, it's such a mess. I wish there was someone who could help walk us through the options and available resources?

I found the new York website to be surprisingly good.

In in the same predicament. Need to get one for my wife before the 15th. No idea which to get.

Assuming you don't qualify for a subsidy, Is there any benefit to buying on the exchange?
If you don't care why would you comment?

Yes they were very helpful in going over my options. I tried to do it myself but the marketplace website was not allowing me to sign up, and he fixed the issue for me also. I spoke to Sruli Miller, but he's hard to reach so you could also speak to Ari.

A heads up for those using the ny website. The filter that allows you to search for plans that your doctor takes is completely inaccurate and no bearing on reality. So do not rely on that when choosing plans. I Learnt the hard way....

Seriously..... That is all the info you are giving and based on that you are expecting an answer that is reasonable? Besides,  why not ask someone in lakewood who actually knows....
