An interesting article was relegated to Page 21 of the Nov. 15 edition of the paper. It was about how well the Affordable Care Act website worked for a local businessman.
It seems Mr. Phillip Katz, owner of Cake Break, successfully navigated the ACA website and enrolled in a policy that substantially reduced his healthcare costs by $10,000 over the next year. I find that amazing considering the lies and no-truths the Republicans have been spreading.
But I question why this article was placed on page 21 when news of the failures of the website get top billing? This is a local businessman who saved thousands on his healthcare costs by being diligent and signing up. Also, for those who have failed to get online, try using the phone.....42 seconds until a human picks up.
