Tale of Two Obamacares as Some States Bypass U.S. Site

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-24/tale-of-two-obamacares-as-some-states-bypass-u-s-site.html

Don’t tell Elisabeth Benjamin it’s tough to sign up for Obamacare. For two weeks, she has been enrolling uninsured people from her New York City office through an online marketplace created by the law.

Most recently, she helped a Bronx home-health worker in her 30s get health coverage for $70 a month.

“By week two, the system was pretty smooth,” said Benjamin, who’s certified to assist people signing up for health insurance.

In Texas, which has more uninsured than any other state, 90 health insurance navigators, doing the same job as Benjamin, haven’t been able to sign up a single person despite a flood of interest, said Tim McKinney, head of the United Way of Tarrant County.
