I do qualify. Just saying how much it's the full price.
I checked other insurances on the Marketplace, I couldnt recognize any of the few doctors in their network. As bad as they are they are still a big company. Doctors are more reclutants of accepting a new insurance such as OSCAR, they dont know if they will pay ... With United they already know they Dont PAY Sh*t.

Sounds to me Mika123, that this is just a b...h fest. Wouldn't we all like to get a big premium subsidy as well as cost sharing reductions and have access to a great big network of doctors. Like, suggested. You could always chose a non-subsidized plan, pay full freight and have choice of all the doctors you want. But the thing is. You just can chose one. Not both.

United is one of the highest cost plans on the NY Marketplace by quite a few hundred per month. There are cheaper options with large provider pools. Health Republic uses Magnacare's provider pool which is huge. I know they had some problems with enrollment (as did Empire BCBS), but it is worth checking out.

I heard about Health Republic and checked their network, none of my doctors participated but I can check again, a broker had told me they use the Magnacare provider list and he was also very exvited about it. Unfortunately though I dont think I can change till next December.
BCBS's exchange plan is a joke, it also has a name like compass (cant recall) and no doctor accepts it.

We did a search for you a few weeks back and found over 100 doctors that accept the UHC Compass plan in NYC alone.....

I think you are searching on the regular United network, not the compass.
