Footstep One

This week (Wednesday morning) I took our first step toward getting health coverage that could actually serve us. My wife's employer does offer health insurance but our income level we could not afford it.  We had been watching the Affordable Care Act hoping that affordable healthcare would be a reality for the working poor like us. After waiting until hearing that the website was functional and was not crashing upon open we jumped in and created an application and to our joy got a tacit acceptance pending disclosure of the standard items needed for this sort of thing, actually a very painless start.
