> Just want to add another data point, that here in Washington State, a comprehensive plan for my family is going to be around $600 less per month under Obamacare than what I can get right now.

I get your point and I congratulate you. However, please don't be prematurely happy, "because $600 less" is not what will fix you -- the coverage itself will.

Let's hope that when you need that coverage, you won't be treated the same way as ObamaCare website right now is. You see, before you could complain to your health plan, make a big stink out of it, even sue them, because there were private entity. When to GOV takes over, all you can is pray. Go ahead make a big stink that their system is broken, but don't be surprised to get heavily audited, for example.

My point is that I would prefer to pay even $6000 more knowing I will get the quality of coverage I pay for. I would not want to pay less to be hit with bureaucracy, abuse, lack of transparency and fairness the way government will serve me like they did with their website.

With ACA you're still getting insurance from a private company and you can still sue them if you like.
