i always want to keep up with the totals. i also have talked to anyone i know about signing up. you are right. it is usually those who are a little computer challenged. i went to my friends house and i sat at her PC and walked her through how to go on line. Of course i think the HealthPlanFinder.com site in Washington is really good. We got to compare several plans and she now knows that she has options and she is now a lot more comfortable looking up more information. her son qualifies for medicaid which will save her $3,000 a year because she was paying for a "disaster" plan for him. now he can actually get health care. i think good old word of mouth works wonders. there is so much propaganda out there. i have found though, that if i can get them to just look at what is out there, then they begin to see that they can actually get the help that they need. We just have to keep picking away and we can make an impact - one person at a time. Thank you for staying on top of the numbers. They are growing and that is wonderful.
