If a Democratic governor is elected, I may qualify for expanded medicaid.

If at all possible you should wait a week or two. These things take time to get up and running properly, and in addition it is probably being sabotaged.

how on earth the UK NHS was kicked off in the first place back in 1948. That didn't even need enrollment : superficially one day we didn't have it and the next day the entire population did from conception to death. I must remember to ask my mother.

For those who don't know - an element of the background was to protect our children's health following substantial loss of life of what would otherwise have been the working population following WW2.

It keeps saying the system is unavailable. But only after I fill out all of the information.

Sometimes I get incorrect password, so I click on the get password and I get "you entered the wrong answers."

So I asked for my login ID, got it, tried again, and back to "URL success!"...and a blank page.

I think they're punishing Texans.
