Who told you that?
The problems with www.healthcare.gov, the government's website portal into the Affordable Care Act a/k/a Obamacare, are well known and well-publicized. It almost seems like if the beleaguered website portal does not work, then there is no health insurance.
Not so.
Although seemingly reluctant to earn their new-found premium dollars, America's Health Insurance Plans can accept applications by U.S. Mail, by Fax, by EMail, and by telephone. Whether they let anyone know before the current signup period ends, may be another story, but it is true that America's Health Insurance Companies can offer you coverage consistent with the ACA and that you can apply for that coverage right now.
You just may not be able to enter the narrow portal at www.healthcare.gov right now is all.
