I have insurance right now, but that wasn't always the case. I was uninsured when I came down with a little case of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in early 2011. Fortunately, in Wisconsin, there is an insurance plan called HIRSP. It is for high risk people and you can get it even if you have a preexisting condition.
After jumping through a few hoops, I was finally able to sign up for the federal version of HIRSP. That is what I have right now. But, the point of HIRSP is to bridge people over to Jan 1, 2014 when insurance would be available on the exchanges. So, a few days ago I got the official termination notice saying that HIRSP would cease to exist.
That means, I want to sign up for a health plan on healthcare.gov. This blog is just about my attempt to do that. I'll catch you up on what I've done and keep you posted on what happens next. I'll do all this until I have insurance purchased on the exchange. So sit back, enjoy, and if you are healthy, count your blessings.
