A lump of coal at the end of the Obamacare rainbow

The problems with accessing the Obamacare exchanges online have been well-documented. Much less discussion has been devoted to what the lucky few who overcome the IT glitches find after they succeed technically.

A friend reports that, after trying unsuccessfully to get into several exchanges yesterday, he was able to find a deal in Nevada. The policy costs $1,400 a month (to cover a married couple) and had a $6,000 annual deductible and 40% co-pay on prescription medications.

It must be pretty depressing to endure all of the technical glitches only to find that sort of deal waiting for you.
