The Affordable Care Act (ACA) open enrollment period for US Soylentis has ended. The website was plagued by problems from its launch and even had issues on the the last day.

So, did any Soylentis actually use healthcare.gov to sign up and how has your experience been with the Obamacare system so far?

For those that don't know, from Wikipedia:

The ACA was enacted with the goals of increasing the quality and affordability of health insurance, lowering the uninsured rate by expanding public and private insurance coverage, and reducing the costs of healthcare for individuals and the government. It introduced a number of mechanisms - including mandates, subsidies, and insurance exchanges - meant to increase coverage and affordability. The law also requires insurance companies to cover all applicants within new minimum standards and offer the same rates regardless of pre-existing conditions or sex. Additional reforms aimed to reduce costs and improve healthcare outcomes by shifting the system towards quality over quantity through increased competition, regulation, and incentives to streamline the delivery of healthcare. The Congressional Budget Office projected that the ACA will lower both future deficits and Medicare spending.

    I signed up with on the site Washington had. Everything seemed to work correctly, but I was dark patterned into actually signing up for a plan. I'm still trying to find out what exactly it covers and what the deductibles are and such. All I've found out so far is it covers Naturopathy, which made me a little bit upset
