In reply to the discussion: 9 HOURS in and Healthcare.gov still wont let me look at the actual PLANS [View all]Mass
(27,315 posts)10. Sorry for this mess, but you have to know the deadline for registering and having
your insurance start on January 1rst is December 23rd. So, it gives you a few more days to find a solution.
This said, the online registering systems are very frustrating, particularly when you have a problem as there is apparently no support for problems beyond extremely basic problems (and it is true some state sites as well).
