1. I wish they would fix the typo in their YouTube video. It gives the wrong phone number.

Thanks for this link, though. I'll pass it on.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

2. Thanks! There's application assistance listed at a hospital ten minutes from my home.

Not sure we'll need it. We'll try applying through the web site first, but if we have trouble, that's a convenient location.

3. Site gave 20 places within a reasonable driving distance

The closest is 21 miles away but considering I live in the boonies, that's practically right next door.

6. Utah must use the website...

If you live in Utah, you’ll use this website, HealthCare.gov, to apply for coverage, compare plans, and enroll. Specific plans and prices are available now and coverage can start as soon as January 1, 2014. For small businesses and their employees: In Utah, your Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) is Avenue H. Instead of HealthCare.gov, you’ll use the Avenue H website to apply for coverage, compare plans, and enroll. Visit Avenue H now to apply.

16. My husband works at HRSA so I know HRSA-funded clinics provide the service. :-)

And he just happens to work your territory, too. We know Utah quite well. Between his work at HRSA and mine at ATF we've got the West pretty much covered.

7. Colorado has it's own website.. working nicely thank you!

If all states would get on board, this wouldn't be an issue. Yes, the federal website should work.. wah, wah, wah.. now we've all had our cry, fix it and move the hell on!

I phoned twice with questions that I later found answers to on the website. Had no trouble getting through. Now, I'm taking my time and reading, but the phone help was excellent.
I am giddy at the reality that my husband and daughter will be insured with a good policy come 1/1/2014. As for me, I'm the magic age of 65.

11. Interesting as I only need insurance for my 4 year old son.

Both the wife and I are on Medicare. Although we could use the dental and vision as the wife will lose these benefits from work in December (she is part-time).

Colorado hasn't helped me out, but the private insurance lady we used refused to work with Obamacare. Okay, time to dump the nice lady and find a navigator...
