5. I talked to an Anthem salesperson today. He told me the truth.

He said not to bother anymore with my application, to just wait for the exchanges.

He confirmed what I suspected, that Anthem had no interest in accepting the application that I began in March because they were making more money on my COBRA plan.

$1,371/month for one person, that's my Anthem Blue Cross plan under COBRA.

$600/month is the plan I'm trying to get, with Anthem, so that I can keep the same doctors.

They keep sending me notes asking for additional records, which takes a lot of time, and I keep paying the premium.

My salesperson confirmed when I asked him for details that I would never get a $600 plan and would be lucky if I got a $900 plan with my application and that it would only be month to month and I don't qualify for HIPPA because I can get COBRA.

Just wait for the exchanges.

I love OBAMACARE and I can barely wait!
